Abstract excerpt

The mammalian olfactory system utilizes a biochemical cascade mediated by specialized proteins to detect odorants with high sensitivity and specificity. The recent identification of olfactory neuron-specific components for each step in the signalling cascade suggests that expression of these prot...
