Article Synopsis
- Odour-mediated signal transduction happens in the cilia of olfactory sensory neurons, which are critical for detecting smells.
- Researchers developed a method to purify the membranes of olfactory cilia from rat olfactory epithelium to study the molecular details of this process.
- They found scaffolding proteins like ProSAP/Shanks and CASK in the purified membranes, which might help assemble the odor detection machinery, and also showed that ion channels related to smell detection can be studied further using lab techniques.
