Abstract:
The subject invention provides a method for producing an olfactory GPCR in a cell. In general, the methods involve introducing an expression cassette containing a promoter operably linked to a nucleic acid encoding an olfactory PCR into a macroglial cell, e.g., a Schwann or oligodendritic cell, and maintaining the cell under conditions suitable for production of the olfactory GPCR. Also provided is a macroglial cell containing a recombinant nucleic acid encoding an olfactory GPCR, methods of screening for modulators of olfactory GPCR activity, and a kit for producing an olfactory GPCR in a macroglial cell. The invention finds most use in research on flavors and fragrances, and, consequently, has a variety of research and industrial applications.
