CNGA2 Proteins and Enzymes

Function: Odorant signal transduction is probably mediated by a G-protein coupled cascade using cAMP as second messenger. The olfactory channel can be shown to be activated by cyclic nucleotides which leads to a depolarization of olfactory sensory neurons.; Subunit structure: Heterooligomer of OCNC1 and OCNC2 subunits.; Subcellular location: Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.; Tissue specificity: Olfactory neurons.
