The Drosophila melanogaster Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger CALX Controls the Ca2+ Level in Olfactory Sensory Neurons at Rest and After Odorant Receptor Activation

The Drosophila melanogaster Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger CALX Controls the Ca2+ Level in Olfactory Sensory Neurons at Rest and After Odorant Receptor Activation

CALX, the Na+/Ca2+ exchanger in Drosophila, is highly expressed in the outer dendrites of olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) which are equipped with the odorant receptors (ORs). Insect OR/Orco dimers are nonselective cation channels that pass also calcium which leads to elevated calcium levels after O...
