Abstract

A novel multigene family has been identified that is likely to encode odorant receptors on olfactory sensory neurons. Further studies on this gene family are likely to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying information coding in the mammalian olfactory system. This review is also published in Current Opinion in Neurobiology 1992, 2:282-288.

摘要

已鉴定出一个新的多基因家族，该家族可能编码嗅觉感觉神经元上的气味受体。对这个基因家族的进一步研究可能会揭示哺乳动物嗅觉系统中信息编码的分子机制。这篇综述也发表于《神经生物学当前观点》1992年第2卷，第282 - 288页。
