Abstract
Among the insect olfactory receptors the odorant receptors (ORs) evolved in parallel to the onset of insect flight. A special property of this receptor type is the capability to adjust sensitivity of odor detection according to previous odor contacts. This article presents a current view on regulatory processes affecting the performance of ORs and proposes a model of mechanisms contributing to OR sensitization.
摘要
在昆虫嗅觉受体中，气味受体（ORs）的进化与昆虫飞行的出现同步。这种受体类型的一个特殊特性是能够根据先前的气味接触来调节气味检测的灵敏度。本文阐述了当前对影响气味受体性能的调节过程的观点，并提出了一个有助于气味受体致敏的机制模型。
