Abstract

Their well-developed chemical communication systems make rodents popular in research that aims to understand the connections between genes, hormones and behaviour. Structural identification of several pheromones in mice, rats and hamsters now makes it feasible to employ their synthetic analogues in probing olfactory neurons and in the study of various pheromone-protein interactions in intimate detail.

摘要

它们发达的化学通讯系统使啮齿动物在旨在理解基因、激素和行为之间联系的研究中很受欢迎。目前，对小鼠、大鼠和仓鼠体内几种信息素的结构鉴定，使得利用它们的合成类似物来探测嗅觉神经元以及深入研究各种信息素与蛋白质的相互作用成为可能。
