exogenous olfactory receptors

A cellular basis for heightened gut sensitivity in females Visceral pain disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, exhibit a marked female prevalence. Enhanced signaling between enterochromaffin (EC) cells in the gut epithelium and mucosal sensory nerve fibers likely contributes to this sex...

Role of Ectopic Olfactory Receptors in the Regulation of the Cardiovascular–Kidney–Metabolic Axis Abstract Olfactory receptors (ORs) represent one of the largest yet least investigated families of G protein-coupled receptors in mammals. While initially believed to be functionally restricted...

Human Olfactory Receptors: Novel Cellular Functions Outside of the Nose Maßberg, Désirée; Hatt, Hanns Abstract Olfactory receptors (ORs) are not exclusively expressed in the olfactory sensory neurons; they are also observed outside of the olfactory system in all other human tissues tested to...
