Evolution of odorant receptors
Evolution of odorant receptors
Laurence Dryer
Summary
Odorant receptors (ORs) located in the nasal epithelium,
at the ciliated surface of olfactory sensory neurons,
represent the initial step of a transduction cascade that
leads to odor detection. ORs form the largest and most
diverse family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs).
They are encoded by a multigene family that has been
partially characterized in cyclostomes, teleosts, amphi-
bia, birds and mammals,
