For the OM, enriched genes are dominated by those encoding ORs and, those involved in
the olfactory transduction pathway and sensory perception.
Not exact matches
The isoforms beta ARK - 2 and beta - arrestin - 2 are highly enriched in and localized to the dendritic knobs and cilia of the
olfactory receptor neurons where the initial events of
olfactory signal
transduction occur.
Additionally, most of the cancer cell lines expressing
olfactory receptors express the effectors necessary for OR - mediated signal
transduction.
Background:
Olfactory receptors (ORs) recognize odorant molecules and activate a signal
transduction pathway that ultimately leads to the perception of smell.
