Abstract:

The olfactory sense plays a key role in animals’life time. The main gene related with olfaction was olfactory receptor (OR) gene. This review introduced the structure, expression regulation, distribution, molecular evolution and polymorphism of OR gene. The relationship between OR gene and olfactory function and olfactory deficits was also dis-cussed

Key words: olfactory deficitsTrace Amine Associated Receptors, polymorphism, olfactory receptor gene;Trace Amine-Associated Receptors gene, polymorphism;olfactory function
