Comparison of transcriptomes from two chemosensory organs in four decapod crustaceans reveals hundreds of candidate chemoreceptor proteins
Crustaceans express genes for at least three classes of putative chemosensory proteins.
These are: Ionotropic Receptors (IRs), derived from the heterotetrameric ionotropic …
