Dimerisation of the Drosophila odorant co-receptor Orco

Dimerisation of the Drosophila odorant co-receptor Orco

Odorant receptors (ORs) detect volatile molecules and transform this external information into an intracellular signal. Insect ORs are heteromers composed of two seven transmembrane proteins, an odor-specific OrX and a coreceptor (Orco) protein. These ORs form ligand gated cation channels that condu...
