Trace amines are endogenous compounds classically regarded as comprising β-
phenylethyalmine, p-tyramine, tryptamine, p-octopamine, and some of their metabolites …

The discovery in 2001 of a G protein-coupled receptor family, subsequently termed trace
amine-associated receptors (TAAR), triggered a resurgence of interest in so-called trace …

Olfactory systems must detect and discriminate amongst an enormous variety of odorants.
To contend with this challenge, diverse species have converged on a common strategy in …

Odorants are detected as smell in the nasal epithelium of mammals by two G-protein-
coupled receptor families, the odorant receptors and the trace amine-associated …

Monitoring food freshness/spoilage is important to ensure food quality and safety. Current
methods of food quality monitoring are mostly time-consuming and labor intensive …

How the olfactory system detects and distinguishes odorants with diverse physicochemical
properties and molecular configurations remains poorly understood. Vertebrate animals …

In this study, we delineate an unsupervised clustering algorithm, minimum span clustering
(MSC), and apply it to detect G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) sequences and to study the …

Trace amine-associated receptor 1 (TAAR1) senses a spectrum of endogenous amine-
containing metabolites (EAMs) to mediate diverse psychological functions and is useful for …

Evolution sculpts the olfactory nervous system in response to the unique sensory challenges
facing each species. In vertebrates, dramatic and diverse adaptations to the chemical …

Trace amine-associated receptors (TAARs) were discovered in 2001 as new members of
class AG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). With the only exception of TAAR1, TAAR …
