Inhibition of Olfactory Receptor Cells: An Aquatic Model.
Abstract
CDNAs encoding two elements of the inositol phosphate-based intracellular signaling system were fully cloned and sequenced from the olfactory organ of the spiny lobster, an aquatic animal model for olfactory research. Antibody and molecular probes developed from these sequences are being used to study how this one of two olfactory signaling pathways is distributed across the ensemble of receptor cells that constitute the olfactory organ. The resulting insight into peripheral olfactory organization could improve the design of detector arrays in biosensors for odors and other chemical substances.
