Olfactory receptors interact with odorant molecules in thennose, to initiate a neuronal response that triggers the perceptionnof a smell. The olfactory receptor proteins are members of a largenfamily of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) arising from singlencoding-exon genes. Olfactory receptors share a 7-transmembranendomain structure with many neurotransmitter and hormone receptorsnand are responsible for the recognition and G protein-mediatedntransduction of odorant signals. The olfactory receptor gene familynis the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to thenolfactory receptor genes and proteins for this organism isnindependent of other organisms.
