The cluster of differentiation 36 (CD36) is a transmembrane receptor expressed in various cells and has diverse lipid ligands. The expression of CD36 in the murine olfactory epithelium and its ability to recognize certain species of fatty aldehydes, a class of odor-active volatile compounds, have suggested a role for this receptor in the capture of specific odorants in the nasal cavity of mammals. However, the spectrum of CD36-recognizable volatile compounds is poorly understood. In this study, we employed our recently devised assay with fluorescently labeled peptides as probes (fluorescence intensity assay) and identified distinct fatty acetates as volatile compounds that bind specifically to amino acid region 149-168 of CD36 (eg dodecyl and tetradecyl acetates). The present findings demonstrate the utility of our assay for the discovery of novel CD36 ligands and support the notion that the receptor functions as a captor of volatile compounds in the mammalian olfactory system.
