odr-10 encodes a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled olfactory receptor; ODR-10 activity is required, in the AWA neurons, for the attractive response to low concentrations of diacetyl; ODR-10 is strongly expressed in the cilia of the AWA olfactory neurons and, at low levels, in the CEP neurons; expression of odr-10 mRNA and of an odr-10::GFP fusion gene is greatly reduced in odr-7 mutant animals, suggesting that odr-7, which encodes a nuclear receptor transcription factor, functions upstream of odr-10 in specifying AWA neuronal cell fate.
