General description
Amyl acetate is an aliphatic ester that occurs naturally in banana fruit. It may be one of the odor volatiles produced by fungi such as Aspergillus, Penicillium and Fusarium species.
Application
Banana essence. Used as test odorant in studies of olfactory function and in studies of the psychosocial effects of odor.
Amyl acetate is a fruity odor compound that can be used as an attractant (component) in nanoemulsion formulation used to trap fruit flies (Drosophila melanogaster).

Ca2+/calmodulin-mediated negative feedback is a prototypical regulatory mechanism for Ca2+-permeable ion channels. In olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs), such regulation on the cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel is considered a major mechanism of OSN adaptation. To determine the role of Ca2+/calmodulin desensitization
