A putative origin of the insect chemosensory receptor superfamily in the last common eukaryotic ancestor

A putative origin of the insect chemosensory receptor superfamily in the last common eukaryotic ancestor

The insect chemosensory repertoires of Odorant Receptors (ORs) and Gustatory Receptors (GRs) together represent one of the largest families of ligand-gated ion channels. Previous analyses have identified homologous ‘Gustatory Receptor-Like’ (GRL) proteins across Animalia, but the evolutionary origin...
