Vertebrate odorant receptors

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 1999
Olfactory transduction begins with the binding of an odorous molecule to a protein receptor--odorant receptor--on the cell surface of olfactory neuron. Odorant receptors are encoded by a large gene family belonging to the superfamily of G-protein-coupled, seven-transmembrane-domain receptors. Since the identification of the receptor gene family in 1991,

Searching for the Ligands of Odorant Receptors

Molecular Neurobiology, 2007
Through the sense of smell mammals can detect and discriminate between a large variety of odorants present in the surrounding environment. Odorants bind to a large repertoire of odorant receptors located in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons of the nose. Each olfactory neuron expresses one single type of odorant receptor, and neurons expressing the

Evolution of odorant receptors

BioEssays, 2000
Odorant receptors (ORs) located in the nasal epithelium, at the ciliated surface of olfactory sensory neurons, represent the initial step of a transduction cascade that leads to odor detection. ORs form the largest and most diverse family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).

Ligand specificity of odorant receptors

Journal of Molecular Modeling, 2006
Odorant receptors belong to class A of the G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and detect a large number of structurally diverse odorant molecules. A recent structural bioinformatic analysis suggests that structural features are conserved across class A of GPCRs in spite of their low sequence identity.
