One of the two possible models in explaining  Or83b's function, is that it could interact with specific odor stimuli independently of other ORs (a.k.a. odorant receptors), which are expressed in the cell walls of olfactory receptor neurons and are responsible for the detection of odorants which give rise to the sense of smell.
