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.
