Abstract:
:The molecular cloning of components involved in the cAMP second messenger cascade has allowed their biochemical characterization and revealed properties that are important for their role in sensory transduction. Recent evidence suggests inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate functions as an additional second messenger in olfactory signalling. The interaction of these two pathways may contribute to the sensitivity of the olfactory system.
