Summary: 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.

What's a GeneRIF?

These findings suggest that Olfr15 and Olfr821 in pancreatic beta-cells has a chemo-sensor function allowing recognition of environmental substances obtained from food, and potentiates insulin secretion in a cell-autonomous manner, thereby modulating systemic glucose metabolism.
Title: Olfactory receptors are expressed in pancreatic β-cells and promote glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
In islets from type 2 diabetic mice, the expression level of Olfr15 and the octanoic acid-induced enhancement of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion were strongly reduced.
Title: Octanoic acid potentiates glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and expression of glucokinase through the olfactory receptor in pancreatic β-cells.
homo- and heterotypic adhesion between cells overexpressing the ORs MOR256-17 or M71, supporting the hypothesis that ORs may contribute to olfactory axon sorting by mediating differential adhesion between axons.
Title: Homotypic and heterotypic adhesion induced by odorant receptors and the β2-adrenergic receptor.
we have performed a detailed examination the mouse odorant receptor MOR256-17, demonstrating that this receptor is broadly tuned
Title: A broadly tuned mouse odorant receptor that detects nitrotoluenes.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
