Identification of 2,4-Di-<i>tert</i>-butylphenol as a Novel Agonist for Insect Odorant Receptors

Odorant molecules interact with odorant receptors (ORs) lining the pores on the surface of the sensilla on an insect’s antennae and maxillary palps. This interaction triggers an electrical signal that is transmitted to the insect’s nervous system, thereby influencing its behavior. Orco, an OR corece...
