INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON OLFACTION AND TASTE Olfactory Receptor Interactions with Other Receptors
نویسنده
چکیده
Olfactory receptors expressed in heterologous cells often suffer from retention in the endoplasmic reticulum and poor trafficking to the plasma membrane. Interactions of the olfactory receptor M71 with several subtypes of adrenergic and purinergic receptors can alleviate M71 trafficking deficits in heterologous cells and allow for robust M71 plasma membrane expression. Furthermore, the signaling pathway to which M71 couples upon agonist stimulation can be strongly influenced by the partner receptor’s driving M71 trafficking to the plasma membrane. These studies provide evidence that olfactory receptors can interact with other G protein–coupled receptors and that these interactions can promote olfactory receptor surface expression and functionality in heterologous cells.

Receptor cell regeneration and connectivity in olfaction and taste.
The capacity of adult mammalian gustatory and olfactory receptor cells to regenerate and make synaptic reconnections provides examples that may be useful in initiating replacement of other kinds of sensory receptor cells. The sensory code for taste quality may not be degraded by taste receptor cell turnover because axons probably recouple to the appropriate type of new receptor cell by axon-rec...
متن کاملHedonic Taste in Drosophila Revealed by Olfactory Receptors Expressed in Taste Neurons
Taste and olfaction are each tuned to a unique set of chemicals in the outside world, and their corresponding sensory spaces are mapped in different areas in the brain. This dichotomy matches categories of receptors detecting molecules either in the gaseous or in the liquid phase in terrestrial animals. However, in Drosophila olfactory and gustatory neurons express receptors which belong to the...
متن کاملAging and the Chemical Senses
Everyone is aware that the visual and auditory senses dim with age, and expects the elderly to need reading glasses and hearing aids. What about the chemical senses of smell and taste? In what ways do our perceptions of the volatile and water-soluble molecules we smell and taste change? How pronounced is that change? And how early in life does it begin? Before addressing these questions, it is ...
متن کاملQualitaty of Olfaction in Patients with Nasal and Sinuses Polyposis before and after Endo-scopic Sinus Surgery in, Vali e Asr Hospital in 2017
Background: Olfaction plays an important role in human life and promotes quality of life through understanding various odors. Nasal polyps are among the common causes of olfactory impairment. There are many different treatment options for polyps most notably the diagnosis and elimination of underlying causes. Some polyps do not respond to medication therapy or they relapse, and therefore requir...
متن کاملEvaluation of gustatory and olfactory function among premenopausal and postmenopausal women and men
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The sense of taste is a chemical sense which allows everyone to perceive the flavor of what is eaten or drunk. Also, the sense of olfaction is also a chemical sense contributing to the sense of taste to perceive the taste and flavor of food. In the present work, the gustatory and olfactory function in pre- and postmenopausal women and men were studied and compared to each ot...
