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.

Pathogenesis of Olfactory Disorders in COVID-19
Brain Sciences, 2022 Since the outbreak of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, olfactory disorders have been reported as a frequent symptom of COVID-19; however, its pathogenesis is still debated.

Organization and distribution of glomeruli in the bowhead whale olfactory bulb [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Although modern baleen whales (Mysticeti) retain a functional olfactory system that includes olfactory bulbs, cranial nerve I and olfactory receptor genes, their olfactory capabilities have been reduced to a great degree.

Ir76b is a Co-receptor for Amine Responses in Drosophila Olfactory Neurons
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2021 Two large families of olfactory receptors, the Odorant Receptors (ORs) and Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), mediate responses to most odors in the insect olfactory system. Individual odorant binding “tuning” OrX receptors are expressed by olfactory neurons in

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 The molecular mechanism of olfactory cognition is very complicated. Olfactory cognition is initiated by olfactory receptor proteins (odorant receptors), which are activated by olfactory stimuli (ligands). Olfactory receptors are the initial player in the

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

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
