Olfactory receptors

Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences (CMLS), 2004
Olfaction is an ancient sensory system allowing an organism to detect chemicals in its environment. The first step in odor transduction is mediated by binding odorants to olfactory receptors (ORs) which belong to the heptahelical G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. Mammalian ORs are disposed in clusters on virtually all chromosomes. They are

Olfactory receptor function

2019
Olfaction plays a critical role in several aspects of life. Olfactory disorders are very common in the general population, and can lead to malnutrition, weight loss, food poisoning, depression, and other disturbances. Odorants are first detected in the upper region of the nose by the main olfactory epithelium (OE). In this region, millions of olfactory

Olfactory Receptor Proteins

2014
Bioelectronic noses can utilize olfactory receptors (ORs) as recognition elements. This chapter describes biochemical characteristics of these OR proteins. ORs being G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are integral membrane proteins composed of seven transmembrane spanning helices.

Modeling of Olfactory Receptors

2023
Olfactory receptors (ORs) form the largest subfamily within class A G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). No experimental structural data of any OR is available to date. Homology modeling has become a popular strategy to propose plausible OR models, in order to study the structure-function relationships of the receptors and to aid the discovery and ...

Olfactory receptor signaling

2016
The guanine nucleotide protein (G protein)-coupled receptors (GPCRs) superfamily represents the largest class of membrane protein in the human genome. More than a half of all GPCRs are dedicated to interact with odorants and are termed odorant-receptors (ORs).

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 ...

Amphibian olfactory receptor neurons express olfactory marker protein

Brain Research, 1992
Expression of olfactory marker protein (OMP) in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) in two amphibians was investigated by immunohistochemical methods. The OMP immunoreactivity was observed in the cilia, apical dendritic knobs, dendrites and somas of ORNs; the axons of ORNs also showed intense immunoreactivity for OMP throughout their course from the ...

Genomics of Olfactory Receptors

2009
In many species, the sense of smell plays important roles in locating food, detecting predators, navigating, and communicating social information. The olfactory system has evolved complex repertoires of odor receptors (ORs) to fulfill these functions.
