Phosphorylation via PKC regulates the function of the Drosophila odorant coreceptor

Phosphorylation via PKC regulates the function of the Drosophila odorant coreceptor

Insect odorant receptors (ORs) have a unique design of heterodimers formed by an olfactory receptor protein and the ion channel Orco. Heterologously expressed insect ORs are activated via an ionotropic and a metabotropic pathway that leads to cAMP production and activates the Orco channel. The contr...
