Predicted to enable ionotropic olfactory receptor activity and odorant binding activity. Involved in detection of chemical stimulus involved in sensory perception of smell. Predicted to be located in dendrite membrane. Predicted to be part of cation channel complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in dorsal organ; embryonic/larval antennal lobe; larval antennal lobe glomerulus 74a; and larval olfactory receptor neuron Or74a.
FB Description
Odorant receptor 74a (Or74a) encodes a multi-transmembrane chemoreceptor that mediates response to volatile chemicals.
