Mechanism of Odorant Signal Transduction
Description
This template shows the mechanism of odorant signal transduction in an olfactory receptor neuron, tracing an odorant molecule binding its receptor to activate a G protein subunit that stimulates adenylyl cyclase III to produce cAMP from ATP. The resulting cAMP opens a Na+/Ca2+ channel and a Ca2+-gated Cl- channel to depolarize the neuron, with a separate panel showing the repolarization steps that close these channels afterward.
