Amino acid residues contributing to function of the heteromeric insect olfactory receptor complex.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2012

Abstract excerpt

Olfactory receptors (Ors) convert chemical signals--the binding of odors and pheromones--to electrical signals through the depolarization of olfactory sensory neurons. Vertebrates Ors are G-protein-coupled receptors, stimulated by odors to produce intracellular second messengers that gate ion channels. Insect Ors are a heteromultimeric complex of unknown stoichiometry of two seven transmembrane domain proteins...
