Advances on olfactory receptor gene
嗅觉受体基因的研究进展

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
