Receptors, Odorant

Luktreceptorer

Svensk definition

Proteiner som sticker ut från luktreceptorceller och som specifikt binder doftmolekyler och utlöser svarsreaktioner i nervcellerna. Det stora antalet olika luktreceptorer tycks härröra från ett flertal genfamiljer och underfamiljer snarare än från omordningar i DNA.

Engelsk definition

Proteins, usually projecting from the cilia of olfactory receptor neurons, that specifically bind odorant molecules and trigger responses in the neurons. The large number of different odorant receptors appears to arise from several gene families or subfamilies rather than from DNA rearrangement.
