Research progress on transcription factor acj6's function in insect olfaction
This paper reviews the discovery of acj6 and the abnormal olfactory behaviors in mutant,introduces the structure and expression pattern of acj6,expounds acj6's function in insect olfaction,including regulating olfactory receptor expression,shaping olfactory neuron's morphology and tar-geting,maintaining the level of neurotransmitter acetyl choline and controlling the formation of olfactory glomerulus.The paper emphasizes the necessity of further research into acj6's regulatory mechanism in insect olfaction and its interactions with other transcription factors in the future.Such studies could provide references for illustrating regulatory mechanism of insect olfaction and formulation strategies on pests control based on insect olfaction.
