Human olfactory receptor families and their odorants.

Abstract excerpt

The human nose detects volatile chemical stimuli by at least three different receptor families: odorant receptors, trace amine-associated receptors, and vomeronasal type-1 receptors. As G protein-coupled receptors, all of the few functionally characterized olfactory receptors share major functional features: when expressed in heterologous cell systems, they 1) respond to odorants of certain chemical groups, e.g.,...
