MOR31-2 antibody

Background of MOR31-2 antibody

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.
