Visual arrestins in olfactory pathways of Drosophila and the malaria vector mosquito Anopheles gambiae
15 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
Arrestins are important components for desensitization of G protein-coupled receptor cascades that mediate neurotransmission as well as olfactory and visual sensory reception. We have isolated AgArr1, an arrestin-encoding cDNA from the malaria vector mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, where olfaction is critical for vectorial capacity. Analysis of AgArr1 expression revealed an overlap between chemosensory and...
