The 21 pages that link to Olfactory receptor, each with the reason it gives.

• OlfactionBroader topic: Different receptor proteins detect different features of airborne chemicals.

• G protein-coupled receptorBroader topic: Olfaction uses a large GPCR family to distinguish chemical signals.

• PheromoneRelated: Many pheromones trigger responses by binding receptors in the olfactory system.

• Olfactory epitheliumBroader topic: Receptor proteins on these neurons begin chemical detection in the tissue.

• ChemoreceptorBroader topic: It is a specialized chemoreceptor whose activity initiates the sense of smell.

• Olfactory bulbRelated: Receptor identity helps determine which bulb glomeruli receive input.

• OdorantRelated: Binding between odorants and these receptors begins olfactory signaling.

• Olfactory nerveRelated: Receptor activation starts the signals carried centrally by this nerve.

• Odor thresholdRelated: Receptor responses help determine how little of an odorant can trigger detection.

• Olfaction in birdsBroader topic: Different receptor proteins let birds detect different chemical features.

• Olfactory systemBroader topic: Different receptor proteins help encode the chemical features of odors.

• CarvoneRelated: Different receptor interactions help distinguish carvone’s two aromas.

• OdorBroader topic: Different receptor activation patterns help distinguish one odor from another.

• Richard AxelBroader topic: Axel and Buck identified the large gene family encoding these receptors.

• GeosminRelated: Geosmin's odor becomes perceptible when it activates receptors in the nose.

• Linda B. BuckBroader topic: Buck and Axel identified the genes encoding this receptor family.

• SkatoleNarrower topic: Skatole's odor depends on how airborne molecules activate olfactory receptors.

• EthanethiolRelated: Olfactory receptors translate ethanethiol exposure into a readily noticed smell.

• Fragrance compoundRelated: Fragrance compounds produce scent when their molecules activate patterns of olfactory receptors.

• Human noseBroader topic: These receptors translate chemical contact inside the nose into sensory signals.

• Sense of smellBroader topic: Different receptor proteins respond to different features of odor molecules.
