General annotation (Comments)

Function	Complexes with Or83b to form odorant-sensing units, providing sensitive and prolonged odorant signaling and calcium permeability. They are necessary and sufficient to promote functional reconstitution of odor-evoked signaling in sensory neurons that normally respond only to carbon dioxide. Ref.6
Subunit structure	Interacts with Or83b. Complexes exist early in the endomembrane system in olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), coupling these complexes to the conserved ciliary trafficking pathway. Ref.6
Subcellular location	Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein By similarity.
Tissue specificity	Expressed with Or83b in 20 sensory neurons on the distal edge of the antenna. Ref.6 Ref.1 Ref.5
Miscellaneous	The atypical heteromeric and topological design of the odorant receptors appears to be an insect-specific solution for odor recognition, making the OR/Or83b complex an attractive target for the development of highly selective insect repellents to disrupt olfactory-mediated host-seeking behaviors of insect disease vectors. Odor-evoked OR currents are independent of known G-protein-coupled second messenger pathways.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the odorant-gated ionic channel family.
