Abstract

Using ultramicro patch electrodes, we have shown that olfactory receptor cilia contain a cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel which has low selectivity between monovalent cations and high sensitivity to divalent cations. Biochemical evidence of an odorant-activated adenylate cyclase supports the idea that this channel mediates olfactory transduction.
