Intracellular G protein1
Activated olfactory receptors then activate intracellular G protein, guanine nucleotide-binding protein (GNAL), adenylate cyclase, and the production of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). (psychologic.science)
Hair-like cilia2
The surface of these hair-like cilia is blanketed with olfactory receptors. (psychologic.science)

10001
It has long been thought that OSNs (each of which expresses only one of the ~1000 possible odorant receptors (ORs) encoded in the genome) faithfully send information to the brain about OR-odor interactions. (harvard.edu)
Proteins9
Odorants bind to receptor proteins that are held within individual OSNs. (wikipedia.org)
It is important to note that not all fish have the same types or number of receptor proteins making olfactory toxicity and the subsequent effects species specific. (wikipedia.org)
These cells are distributed across the olfactory epithelium (OE), OSNs that express common binding receptor proteins are connected to the olfactory bulb (OB) by axons. (wikipedia.org)
This concept implies that olfactory receptor proteins are located in sensory cilia and in the axons. (jneurosci.org)
By means of immunohistochemistry and double-labeling studies using transgenic mouse lines as well as Western blot analyses, it was demonstrated that the newly generated antibodies specifically recognized the receptor proteins. (jneurosci.org)
To scrutinize the hypothesis that olfactory receptor proteins may also be present in the axonal processes and the nerve terminals, serial sections through the olfactory bulb were probed with the antibodies. (jneurosci.org)
These data indicate that olfactory receptor (OR) proteins are indeed present in the axonal processes and nerve terminals of olfactory sensory neurons, thus supporting the notion that ORs may participate in the molecular processes underlying the fasciculation and targeting of olfactory axons. (jneurosci.org)
The question whether OR proteins are indeed present in the axons and nerve terminals of OSNs is thus of fundamental importance toward an understanding of the functional wiring in the olfactory system. (jneurosci.org)
In this study, antibodies were generated against unique epitopes of distinct OR types and used in immunohistochemical experiments to visualize the receptor proteins in whole-mount preparations and tissue sections of the olfactory system. (jneurosci.org)
Molecule2
Olfaction begins with an interaction between an odorant molecule and an olfactory sensory neuron (OSN) located within the epithelium of the Glomerulus bulb. (wikipedia.org)
In this activation process, an odorant molecule will dissolve into the mucous membrane of the olfactory epithelium and subsequently bind to an olfactory receptor. (psychologic.science)
Olfaction2
Among the various protein involved with insect olfaction, odorant binding protein (OBPs), chemosensory protein (CSPs), odorant receptors (ORs), ionotropic receptors (IRs), as well as the sensory neuron membrane protein (SNMPs)3,10,11, ORs play a central function in the activation of OSNs. (bioxorio.com)
INTRODUCTION:Olfactory receptors are presents in every vertebrate which areinvolved in the process of olfaction. (maryelizabethbodycare.com)
Epithelium6
OSNs are located in the olfactory epithelium in the nose, where its cell bodies are distributed among all three of its stratified layers. (psychologic.science)
The odor of an odorant first dissolves in themucus lining of the olfactory epithelium and then binds to an OR. (maryelizabethbodycare.com)
Various types of receptor cells are present, either segregated in different compartments (e.g. in rodents) or mingled in one epithelium (e.g. fish). (biomedcentral.com)
In many mammals these neurons are segregated in two compartments: ciliated OSNs are housed in the main olfactory epithelium detecting chemicals related mostly to food and microvillous OSNs in the so-called vomeronasal organ (VNO) detecting mostly (but not limited to) social cues [ 1 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Fish olfactory epithelium also contains ciliated and microvillous OSNs [ 2 ], but here both cell types are intermingled in one olfactory epithelium since fish do not have a VNO. (biomedcentral.com)
Each receptor can bind to a variety of odorants with differing affinities. (psychologic.science)
That being said, there are many separate OSNs that express olfactory receptors, which bind to the same set of odors. (psychologic.science)
The affinityof olfactory receptor is vast and it can bind variety of different kind of odormolecules.it is the main cause of the alterations in activation patternsresulting in unique odorant profiles. (maryelizabethbodycare.com)
Detect2
2004). Olfactory receptors on different OSNs can detect new odors from background environmental odors. (psychologic.science)
The olfactory and the vomeronasal receptors detect a variety of odours including food-related and social signals. (biomedcentral.com)
Odor2
1998). This negative feedback response inhibits the OSNs from being activated again when other odor molecules are introduced. (psychologic.science)
Check out the lab's latest paper in Cell, led by Tatsuya and David, which demonstrates that olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) - the cells in the nose responsible for detecting smells - use regulated gene expression to flexibly make predictions about which odors are present in the environment and to dynamically adapt their odor responses (paper here , also for those of you on twitter, see tweet thread here ). (harvard.edu)
Olfactory receptors are supposed to act not only as molecular sensors for odorants but also as cell recognition molecules guiding the axons of olfactory neurons to their appropriate glomerulus in the olfactory bulb. (jneurosci.org)
On serial sections through the olfactory bulb of mOR37-transgenic mouse lines, double-labeling experiments demonstrated that distinct immunoreactive glomeruli corresponded to glomeruli that were targeted by neurons expressing a particular member of the mOR37 receptor subfamily. (jneurosci.org)
Our results demonstrate a conserved function of an odorant receptor in two moths that are phylogenetically and ecologically distant. (frontiersin.org)
These results demonstrate that OSNs use dynamic gene expression to predict the presence of odors in the environment, thereby filtering out the expected to emphasize the new. (harvard.edu)
Expresses1
Each OSN singly expresses only one type of olfactory receptor, which is a phenomenon that has been called the "one neuron, one receptor" rule. (psychologic.science)
Molecules2
This means the receptor is indirectly activated when ions enter an ion channel, which is done by the secondary messenger, G protein molecules. (psychologic.science)
In this view, OSNs are passive cellular vehicles whose main purpose is to express a given OR and a set of signaling molecules that couple ORs to spikes - the brain listens to these spikes, and then does all the good stuff. (harvard.edu)
