Or59b

Gene
Or59b
Protein
Odorant receptor 59b
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Length
398 amino acids
Function
Odorant receptor which mediates acceptance or avoidance behavior, depending on its substrates. The odorant receptor repertoire encodes a large collection of odor stimuli that vary widely in identity, intensity, and duration. Forms a complex with Orco to form odorant-sensing units, providing sensitive and prolonged odorant signaling and calcium permeability. Plays also a role in the response to N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide (DEET), the most widely used insect repellent worldwide.
Similarity
Belongs to the insect chemoreceptor superfamily. Heteromeric odorant receptor channel (TC 1.A.69) family. Or2a subfamily.
