The Antiquity of Chordate Odorant Receptors Is Revealed by the Discovery of Orthologs in the Cnidarian Nematostella vectensis

In vertebrates, olfaction is mediated by several families of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) including odorant receptors (ORs). In this study, we investigated the antiquity of OR genes by searching for amino acid motifs found in chordate ORs among the protein predictions from 12 nonchordate spec...
