Abstract
Toward identifying specific roles for G-protein β and γ subunit variants in olfactory reception
Highlights
G-proteins mediate many cellular signaling processes; some are restricted to certain tissues or cell types, whereas others are involved in more general activities
The attempt to relate particular Gβ and Gγ variants with olfactory reception tissues in mice is in the basis of the article by Sathyanesan et al recently published in Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience (2013, 7, 84)
Olfactory reception is mediated by odorant receptors that belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) family (Mombaerts, 1999)
Summary
G-proteins mediate many cellular signaling processes; some are restricted to certain tissues or cell types, whereas others are involved in more general activities.
