Preferred Label : receptors, odorant;
MeSH definition : Proteins, usually projecting from the cilia of olfactory receptor neurons, that specifically
bind odorant molecules and trigger responses in the neurons. The large number of different
odorant receptors appears to arise from several gene families or subfamilies rather
than from DNA rearrangement.;
