Vomeronasal function.
This contribution briefly explores some unanswered questions about vomeronasal organ function, and introduces other contributions from the symposium 'Vomeronasal Function', presented at the XVII Meeting of the Association for Chemoreception Sciences (1996). Key publications appearing since the symposium are also listed.
متن کاملStructure and function of the vomeronasal organ.
Many animals use their vomeronasal organs to gain direct and specific contact with chemical cues released by congeners and in biological fluids. These cues provide information about the physiological status of the emitter and facilitate or regulate social interactions such as sexual relationships. The present review gives a short description of the discovery of the vomeronasal organ and the piv...
متن کاملPheromones, Vomeronasal Function, and Gender-Specific Behavior
The striking behavioral phenotypes of mice lacking the TRP2 ion channel have highlighted the importance of the vomeronasal organ in gender-specific sexual behavior.
متن کاملStructure and function analyses of the purified GPCR human vomeronasal type 1 receptor 1
The vomeronasal system is one of several fine-tuned scent-detecting signaling systems in mammals. However, despite significant efforts, how these receptors detect scent remains an enigma. One reason is the lack of sufficient purified receptors to perform detailed biochemical, biophysical and structural analyses. Here we report the ability to express and purify milligrams of purified, functional...
متن کاملExpression of candidate pheromone receptor genes in vomeronasal neurons.
In mammals, olfactory sensory perception is mediated by two anatomically and functionally distinct organs: the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) and the vomeronasal organ (VON). Pheromones activate the VNO and elicit a characteristic array of innate reproductive and social behaviors, along with dramatic neuroendocrine responses. Recent approaches have provided new insights into the molecular biol...
