| Summary | The insect gustatory and odorant receptors are chemoreceptors that interact with small molecules in sensory organs and trigger the perception of a taste or smell. The gustatory and odorant receptors are members of a large family of 7-transmembrane domain proteins that function as ligand-gated ion channels and may also signal via G-proteins and second messengers. The chemoreceptor gene family is the largest in the genome. The nomenclature assigned to the chemoreceptor genes and proteins for this organism is independent of other organisms.
