Abstract
The possible role of CAMP in olfactory transduction in the spiny lobster was investigates using radioimmunoassay of cAMP and intracellular recording. Application of forskolin or 1-isobutyl-3-methylxanthine increased cAMP levels in intact sensilla thereby demonstrating adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase activity in the sensilla. cAMP-dependent transduction mechanisms are unlikely to mediate most odor responses in lobsters, in contrast to transduction mechanisms in amphibians and rats
