The phrase "an olfactory type" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to something related to the sense of smell or categorizing something based on olfactory characteristics.
Example: "The perfume was designed to appeal to an olfactory type that enjoys floral and fruity scents."
Alternatives: "a scent category" or "a smell type".
For example, suppose an olfactory receptor type X is sensitive to a molecule that is present in all but four odorants.
Conversely, if an odour leaves unchanged the pattern of hand motion covariation, then no inferences about olfactory type of interference could be drawn.
Third, we estimated the number of PDE1C loci involved in the OT of stickleback by analyzing co-expression between the PDE1Cs and olfactory-type G-protein (G [olf]: the guanine nucleotide-binding protein subunit alpha olfactory type).
All up-regulated genes in SBV infected cells, except guanine nucleotide binding protein (G protein), alpha activating activity polypeptide, olfactory type (GNAL) and ribosomal protein S3A (RPS3A), were also upregulated following SBVdelNSs infection, although to a much higher extent, indicating that NSs may not be able to completely shutdown all genes of the host antiviral response.
Immunohistochemistry studies showed that an odorant-binding protein from this species, CquiOBP1, is expressed in trichoid sensilla on the antennae, including short, sharp-tipped trichoid sensilla type, which house an olfactory receptor neuron sensitive to a previously identified mosquito oviposition pheromone (MOP), 6-acetoxy-5-hexadecanolide.
These data suggest olfactory-type CNGA2 to be a more likely candidate that is involved in the U-46619-induced vascular constriction.
However, including inactive genes, there are about 1,000 olfactory-type receptor genes, making up roughly 3 percent of the entire human genome.
It blocks all three functional types of CNG channels, including rod-type CNGA1, olfactory-type CNGA2 and cone-type CNGA3, at micromolar concentration [14], [15].
Our data suggest that CNG channels, olfactory-type CNGA2 in particular, contribute to TxA2-induced Ca2+ influx in vascular smooth muscle cells.
Note that unlike other CNG isoforms [16] which are insensitive to D-cis-diltiazem even at mM concentration, olfactory-type CNGA2 is inhibited by D-cis-diltiazem though with much less potency compared to that of L-cis-diltiazem.
