The gastrointestinal tract has recently come to the forefront of multiple research fields. It is
now recognized as a major source of signals modulating food intake, insulin secretion and …

The survival of insects depends on their ability to detect molecules present in their
environment. Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) form a family of proteins involved in …

Detection of chemical signals from the environment through olfaction is an indispensable
mechanism for maintaining an insect's life, evoking critical behavioral responses. Among …

One of the recently emerging topics in biotechnology is natural receptors including G protein-
coupled receptors, ligand-gated ion channels, enzyme-linked receptors, and intracellular …

Odorant binding proteins (Obps) are remarkable in their number, diversity, and abundance,
yet their role in olfactory coding remains unclear. They are widely believed to be required for …

Chemoreception is a crucial biological process that is essential for the survival of animals. In
insects, olfaction allows the organism to recognise volatile cues that allow the detection of …

Olfaction is of considerable importance to many insects in behaviors critical for survival and
reproduction, including location of food sources, selection of mates, recognition of colony …

Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are extracellular proteins localized to the chemosensory
systems of most terrestrial species. OBPs are expressed by nonneuronal cells and secreted …

▪ Abstract Insect odor and taste receptors are highly sensitive detectors of food, mates, and
oviposition sites. Following the identification of the first insect odor and taste receptors in …

Insect olfactory systems present models to study interactions between animal genomes and
the environment. They have evolved for fast processing of specific odorant blends and for …
