Calmodulin regulates the olfactory performance in Drosophila melanogaster
Abstract Insect odorant receptors (ORs) detect volatile chemical cues with high sensitivity. These ORs operate as ligand-gated ion channels and are formed by heptahelical OrX and Orco (co-receptor) proteins. A highly conserved calmodulin (CaM) binding site (CBS) 336SAIKYWVER344 within the second int...
