Card 6 / 60: Which of the following are true about the odorant receptor proteins in primary olfactory sensory neurons? (3 points)
A) They are all seven transmembrane receptors.
B) Though encoded by only a few genes, they produce enormous variability in olfactory response through alternative splicing.
C) They produce enormous variability in olfactory response since they are encoded by several hundred distinct genes.
D) Though encoded by only a few genes, they produce enormous variability in olfactory response through coupling to a large number of different G-proteins.
E) They appear to play a role in glomerular targeting of olfactory sensory neurons.
F) They appear to play a role in differentiation, ensuring that newborn olfactory sensory neurons express region-appropriate olfactory receptory proteins.
