ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses polynucleotides and polypeptides of arrestin and odorant receptors. Also disclosed are methods for producing such polypeptides and methods of making antibodies. This invention also discloses a method of identifying compounds that bind to arrestins or odorant receptors. A method of identifying compounds that inhibit the binding of mosquito arrestin to a mosquito odorant receptor is also disclosed.
