Detection of Odorants through the Main Olfactory Epithelium and Vomeronasal Organ of Mice
Abstract
Previous research has indicated that volatile odorants are detected through the main olfactory epithelium (MOE), whereas pheromones are detected via the vomeronasal organ (VNO). Gene disruption studies have established that olfactory signaling through the MOE is mediated through receptor stimulation of type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3). Mice lacking AC3 cannot detect odorants through the MOE. Recently, it was discovered using olfactory-based …
