Ionotropic crustacean olfactory receptors. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The nature of the olfactory receptor in crustaceans, a major group of arthropods, has remained elusive. We report that spiny lobsters, Panulirus argus, express ionotropic receptors (IRs), the insect chemosensory variants of ionotropic glutamate receptors.

Mammalian olfactory receptors [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2009 Perception of chemical stimuli from the environment is essential to most animals; accordingly, they are equipped with a complex olfactory system capable of receiving a nearly unlimited number of odorous substances and pheromones. This enormous task is accomplished by olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) arranged in several chemosensory compartments in the ...

Is the olfactory receptor a metalloprotein? [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 The sense of smell is arguably our most primal faculty and also the least understood. Even our own olfactorily impaired species is capable of detecting ≈10,000 distinct scents [Buck, L. & Axel, R. (1991)Cell65, 175–187]. To achieve that amazing diversity, mammals have ≈1,000 olfactory genes, which accounts for ≈3% of their entire genome [Mombaerts,

Chemoreceptor co-expression in Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons
eLife, 2022 Drosophila melanogaster olfactory neurons have long been thought to express only one chemosensory receptor gene family. There are two main olfactory receptor gene families in Drosophila, the odorant receptors (ORs) and the ionotropic receptors (IRs). The

Synaptophysin and synaptoporin expression in the developing rat olfactory system [PDF]
, 1993 The expressions of two closely related synaptic vesicle antigens synaptophysin and synaptoporin were examined in the olfactory system of the adult rat and during pre- and postnatal development.

Designer lipid-like peptides [PDF]
, 2011 A crucial bottleneck in membrane protein studies, particularly G-protein coupled receptors, is the notorious difficulty of finding an optimal detergent that can solubilize them and maintain their stability and function. Here we report rapid production of

Olfactory receptor pseudo-pseudogenes [PDF]
Nature, 2016 Pseudogenes are generally considered to be non-functional DNA sequences that arise through nonsense or frame-shift mutations of protein-coding genes. Although certain pseudogene-derived RNAs have regulatory roles, and some pseudogene fragments are translated, no clear functions for pseudogene-derived proteins are known.

Olfactory receptors in macrophages and inflammation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Olfactory receptors (ORs) that bind odorous ligands are the largest family of G-protein-coupled receptors. In the olfactory epithelium, approximately 400 and 1,100 members are expressed in humans and mice, respectively. Growing evidence suggests the extranasal functions of ORs.

Identification of male- and female-specific olfaction genes in antennae of the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) [PDF]
, 2016 The oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) is a species of tephritid fruit fly, endemic to Southeast Asia but also introduced to many regions of the US, and it is one of the major pest species with a broad host range of cultivated and wild fruits ...
