Olfactory Receptor Database: a sensory chemoreceptor resource
The Olfactory Receptor Database (ORDB) is a WWW-accessible database that has been expanded from an olfactory receptor resource to a chemoreceptor resource. It stores data on six classes of G-protein-coupled sensory chemoreceptors: (i) olfactory receptor-like proteins, (ii) vomeronasal receptors, (iii) insect olfactory receptors, (iv) worm chemo-receptors, (v) taste papilla receptors and (vi) fu...
متن کاملCoordination of olfactory receptor choice with guidance receptor expression and function in olfactory sensory neurons
Olfactory sensory neurons choose to express a single odorant receptor (OR) from a large gene repertoire and extend axons to reproducible, OR-specific locations within the olfactory bulb. This developmental process produces a topographically organized map of odorant experience in the brain. The axon guidance mechanisms that generate this pattern of connectivity, as well as those that coordinate ...
متن کاملVesicular Diversity and Crowding within the Olfactory Sensory Receptor Neuron
The olfactory sensory receptor neuron (OSRN) is an important cellular component of the vertebrate olfactory system that are responsible for detection and discrimination of different type of chemical cues from the external environment [1]. The neural communication between the sensory receptor cells is generally mediated through vesicles [2]. The fine structural details of OSRN aim to unfold the ...
متن کاملOlfactory Receptor Database: a database of the largest eukaryotic gene family
The Olfactory Receptor Database (ORDB) is a WWW-accessible database that stores data on Olfactory Receptor-like molecules (ORs) and has been open to the public since June 1996. It contains a public and a private area. The public area includes published DNA and protein sequence data for ORs, links to OR models and data on their expression, chromosomal localization and source organism, as well as...
متن کاملVisualizing an Olfactory Sensory Map
We have developed a genetic approach to visualize axons from olfactory sensory neurons expressing a given odorant receptor, as they project to the olfactory bulb. Neurons expressing a specific receptor project to only two topographically fixed loci among the 1800 glomeruli in the mouse olfactory bulb. Our data provide direct support for a model in which a topographic map of receptor activation ...
