Schematic illustrating the role of OR83b in specific olfactory receptor (SOR) localization and function in Drosophila olfactory sensory neurons. In the presence (left) of the widely expressed olfactory receptor OR83b, both the conventional SOR and OR83b are properly localized to their specific dendritic compartments at the cell surface, whereas, in the absence of OR83b (right), the SOR remains localized intracellularly.
