Olfactory receptor 5D16 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Function :
Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals.898552-72-2 structure The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome.trans-Hexahydro-1H-furo[3,4-c]pyrrole supplier The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
