Function

Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in the nose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perception of a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a large family of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from single coding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembrane domain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediated transduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the olfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.[5]

gollark: I guess that you could maybe, I don't know, have differences in *measured* temperature depending on where the thermal sensors are, or have different fan control. But that couldn't really change total heat output.
gollark: The *only way* it can heat up is by converting electricity to heat when operating.
gollark: That makes absolutely no sense.
gollark: You are obviously not seeing the people without issues by looking there though.
gollark: Dendrite is somewhat faster but still very resource hungry versus an IRC server or bouncer, and it lacks features.
