Chapter 13, Problem 1MTE
Summary Introduction

To explain: The number of GPCR for odor detection is sufficient to detect all possible odors.

Concept introduction: G-protein–coupled receptor (GPCR) is a transmembrane protein that is involved in several intracellular signaling cascades and is activated by the hydrolysis of bound guanine nucleotides. GPCR is also involved in detecting the odors and are present in the cells of the nasal cavity.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The events in the cell after ligand binds to olfactory receptor.

GPCR is also involved in detecting the odors and are present in the cells of the nasal cavity.

Summary Introduction

To explain: The way in which the presence of odorant is transmitted from an olfactory cell to the brain.
