The trilogy of human musk receptors: linking receptor activation, genotype, and sensory perception.

Chemical senses - 1 Jan 2024

Abstract excerpt

The scent of musk plays a unique role in the history of perfumery. Musk odorants comprise 6 diverse chemical classes and perception differences in strength and quality among human panelists have long puzzled the field of olfaction research. Three odorant receptors (OR) had recently been described for musk odorants: OR5AN1, OR1N2, and OR5A2. High functional expression of the difficult-to-express human OR5A2 was...
