Unfolding the Mystery of Olfactory Receptor Gene Expression [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2013 Reporting recently in Cell, Dalton et al. (2013) identify a central role for the unfolded protein response in the regulation of olfactory receptor expression, unveiling molecular players in an elaborate feedback loop that controls the stabilization and establishment of single olfactory receptor gene choice.

Antennal transcriptome and proteome analysis of olfactory genes and tissue expression profiling of odorant binding proteins in wohlfahrtia magnifica [PDF]
Kafkas Universitesi Veteriner Fakültesi DergisiWohlfahrtia magnifica is a species of fly that parasitizes Bactrian camels. The adult flies lay their larvae near the vulva of the camels, and these larvae develop and cause damage to the vaginal tissues, resulting in vaginal myiasis.

The giant pouched rat (Cricetomys ansorgei) olfactory receptor repertoire.
PLoS ONE, 2020 For rodents, olfaction is essential for locating food, recognizing mates and competitors, avoiding predators, and navigating their environment. It is thought that rodents may have expanded olfactory receptor repertoires in order to specialize in ...

Connectivity, plasticity, and function of neuronal circuits in the zebrafish olfactory forebrain [PDF]
, 2014 For most living animals such as worms, insects, fishes, rodents and humans, chemical cues from the environment (odorants) play critical roles in guiding behaviors important for survival, including preying, mating, breeding, and escaping.

Evolution of olfactory receptor genes in the human genome [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Olfactory receptor (OR) genes form the largest known multigene family in the human genome. To obtain some insight into their evolutionary history, we have identified the complete set of OR genes and their chromosomal locations from the latest human genome sequences.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals Olfactory System Expression Characteristics of Aquatic Snakes
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Animal olfactory systems evolved with changes in habitat to detect odor cues from the environment. The aquatic environment, as a unique habitat, poses a formidable challenge for olfactory perception in animals, since the higher density and viscosity of ...

Molecular characterization and differential expression of olfactory genes in the antennae of the black cutworm moth Agrotis ipsilon. [PDF]
, 2014 Insects use their sensitive and selective olfactory system to detect outside chemical odorants, such as female sex pheromones and host plant volatiles. Several groups of olfactory proteins participate in the odorant detection process, including odorant ...

Downregulation of Fzd6 and Cthrc1 and upregulation of olfactory receptors and protocadherins by dietary beta-carotene in lungs of Bcmo1-/- mice. [PDF]
, 2010 An ongoing controversy exists on beneficial versus harmful effects of high beta-carotene (BC) intake, especially for the lung. To elucidate potential mechanisms, we studied effects of BC on lung gene expression.

Spatial patterns of gene expression in the olfactory bulb [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2004 How olfactory sensory neurons converge on spatially invariant glomeruli in the olfactory bulb is largely unknown. In one model, olfactory sensory neurons interact with spatially restricted guidance cues in the bulb that orient and guide them to their target.
