The olfactory multigene family.

Curr Opin Neurobiol

Department of Neurobiology, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.

Published: June 1992

A novel multigene family has been identified that is likely to encode odorant receptors on olfactory sensory neurons. Further studies on this gene family are likely to shed light on the molecular mechanisms underlying information coding in the mammalian olfactory system. This review is also published in Current Opinion in Genetics and Development 1992, 2:467-473.
