Abstract Background The main olfactory epithelium (MOE) in the nasal cavity detects a variety of air borne molecules that provide information regarding the presence of food, predators and other...

Olfactory neurons expressing transient receptor potential channel M5 (TRPM5) are involved in sensing semiochemicals

Lin, Weihong, Margolskee, Robert, Donnert, Gerald, Hell, Stefan W., Restrepo, Diego

Olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the main olfactory epithelium respond to environmental odorants. Recent studies reveal that these OSNs also respond to semiochemicals such as pheromones and that...
