2022-11-17
Abstract excerpt
Sex differences in blood pressure are well-established, with premenopausal women having lower blood pressure than men by ∼10mmHg; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We report here that olfactory receptor 558 (Olfr558), which has not previously been studied in non-olfactory tissues, localizes to vascular smooth muscle cells in numerous tissues including the kidney and heart. In the kidney,...
