These olfactory receptors are membrane proteins of bipolar olfactoryreceptor neuron s in the olfactory epithelium. Rather than binding specific ligands like most receptors, olfactory receptors display affinity for a range of odor molecules. Olfactory neurons transduce receptor activation into electrical signals in neurons . The signals travel along the olfactory nerve , which belongs to the peripheral nervous system . This nerve terminates in the olfactory bulb , which belongs to the central nervous system . The complex set of olfactory receptors on different olfactory neurons can distinguish a new odor from the background environmental odors and determine the concentration of the odor.

Olfactory transduction is a series of events in which odor molecules are detected by olfactory receptors and chemical signals are transformed into electrical signal to the brain where they are perceived as smells. ref name Ma M. Ma 2007 Encoding olfactory signals via multiple chemosensory systems. Crit. Rev. Biochem. Mol. Bio. 42 6 463 480. PMID 18066954 ref Once ligands odorant particles bind to specific receptors on the external surface of cilia, olfactory transduction is initiated. In mammals, olfactory receptors have been shown to signal via G protein. This is a similar type of signaling of other known G protein coupled receptors GPCR . The binding of an odorant particle on an olfactoryreceptor activates a particular G protein G olf , which then activates adenylate cyclase , leading to cAMP production. cAMP then binds and opens Cyclic nucleotide gated ion channel . This opening allows for an influx of both Na sup sup and Ca sup 2 sup ions into the cell, thus depolarizing it. The Ca sup 2 sup in turn activates chloride channels, causing efflux of Cl sup sup , which results in a further depolarization of the cell. ref name Kato & Touhara A.Kato & K.

Olfactory fatigue , also known as odor fatigue or olfactory adaptation , is the temporary, normal inability to distinguish a particular odor after a prolonged exposure to that airborne compound. ref Odors chapter, Fundamentals volume of the ASHRAE Handbook , ASHRAE, Inc., Atlanta, GA, 2005 ref For example, when entering a restaurant initially the odor of food is often perceived as being very strong, but after time the awareness of the odor normally fades to the point where the smell is not perceptible or is much weaker. After leaving the area of high odor, the sensitivity is restored with time. Perfume counters will often have containers of coffee beans which tend to reset olfaction . Anosmia is the permanent loss of the sense of smell, and is different from olfactory fatigue. It is a term commonly used in wine tasting , where one loses the ability to smell and distinguish wine bouquet after sniffing at wine s continuously for an extended period of time. The term is also used in the study of indoor air quality , for example, in the perception of odors from people, tobacco , and cleaning agents. Olfactory fatigue is an example of neural adaptation or sensory adaptation . Our bodies become desensitised to stimuli in order to prevent the overloading of our nervous system, thus allowing it to respond to new stimuli that are out of the ordinary .

The crystal structure of OMP reveals a beta sandwich consisting of eight strands in two beta sheet sheets with a jelly roll topology. ref name pmid12054873 cite journal author Baldisseri DM, Margolis JW, Weber DJ, Koo JH, Margolis FL title Olfactory marker protein OMP exhibits a beta clam fold in solution implications for target peptide interaction and olfactory signal transduction journal J.
