LUSH odorant-binding protein mediates chemosensory responses to alcohols in Drosophila melanogaster.

Genetics - 1 Oct 1998

Kim M S, Repp A, Smith D P

Abstract excerpt

The molecular mechanisms mediating chemosensory discrimination in insects are unknown. Using the enhancer trapping approach, we identified a new Drosophila mutant, lush, with odorant-specific defects in olfactory behavior. lush mutant flies are abnormally attracted to high concentrations of ethan...
