Singular Expression of Olfactory Receptor Genes [PDF]

open access: yesCell, 2013
Understanding the mechanisms of monogenic and monoallelic transcription of the large repertoire of olfactory receptor genes represents a challenging task. A picture is now emerging in which odorant receptor choice and stabilization involve an escape from

The Role of Knockout Olfactory Receptor Genes in Odor Discrimination [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2021
To date, little is known about the role of olfactory receptor (OR) genes on smell perfor-mance. Thanks to the availability of whole-genome sequencing data of 802 samples, we identified 41 knockout (KO) OR genes (i.e., carriers of Loss of Function ...

Does the number of functional olfactory receptor genes predict olfactory sensitivity and discrimination performance in mammals? [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Evolutionary Biology
The number of functional genes coding for olfactory receptors differs markedly between species and has repeatedly been suggested to be predictive of a species' olfactory capabilities.

Olfactory receptor gene expression

Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology, 1997
Recognition and discrimination of odorous molecules are determined by heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptor proteins localized primarily in the ciliary membrane of olfactory sensory neurons. The discovery of a large multigene family encoding odorant receptors allows us to approach various facets concerning the molecular basis of olfactory ...

Olfactory receptor gene expression in tiger salamander olfactory epithelium

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2004
AbstractPhysiological studies of odor‐elicited responses from the olfactory epithelium and bulb in the tiger salamander, Ambystoma tigrinum, have elucidated a number of features of olfactory coding that appear to be conserved across several vertebrate species.

The olfactory receptor gene superfamily of the mouse

Nature Neuroscience, 2002
Olfactory receptor (OR) genes are the largest gene superfamily in vertebrates. We have identified the mouse OR genes from the nearly complete Celera mouse genome by a comprehensive data mining strategy. We found 1,296 mouse OR genes (including 20% pseudogenes), which can be classified into 228 families.

Olfactory receptor gene repertoires in mammals

Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis, 2007
In mammals, olfaction is mediated by two distinct organs that are located in the nasal cavity: the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) that binds volatile odorants is responsible for the conscious perception of odors, and the vomeronasal organ (VNO) that binds pheromones is responsible for various behavioral and neuroendocrine responses between individuals

Olfactory imprinting is correlated with changes in gene expression in the olfactory epithelia of the zebrafish

Journal of Neurobiology, 2006
Odors experienced as juveniles can have significant effects on the behavior of mature organisms. A dramatic example of this occurs in salmon, where the odors experienced by developing fish determine the river to which they return as adults. Further examples of olfactory memories are found in many animals including vertebrates and invertebrates.
