  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR CHARACTERIZING AND REGULATING OLFACTORY SENSATION
    Publication number: 20130102007
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the characterization of odorant receptors. In particular, the present invention relates to the OR7D4 proteins and nucleic acids encoding OR7D4 proteins and cell systems for screening for modulators of OR7D4 receptors. The present invention further provides assays for the detection of OR7D4 polymorphisms and mutations associated with altered olfactory sensation states, as well as methods of screening for therapeutic agents, ligands, and modulators of OR7D4 receptors.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 29, 2012
    Publication date: April 25, 2013
    Inventors: Hiroaki Matsunami, Andreas Keller, Hanyi Zhuang, Qiuyi Chi, Leslie B. Vosshall
