Olfactory Expression of a Single and Highly Variable V1r Pheromone Receptor-Like Gene in Fish Species

Sensory neurons expressing members of the seven-transmembrane V1r receptor superfamily allow mice to perceive pheromones. These receptors, which exhibit no sequence homology to any known protein except a weak similarity to taste receptors, have only been found in mammals. In the mouse, the V1r reper...
