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.[3]

Ligands

Agonists include:[4]

gollark: 7ms or so based on my scientific™ testing.
gollark: Which is not good in an editor or something but fine sometimes.
gollark: `time /bin/ls` takes about 7ms for me.
gollark: Well, this is probably due to windows bad.
gollark: Ah.
