High impact information on omp

With the exception of one tadpole, expression of xV2RE was not detected in morphologically abnormal mutant tadpoles, although the olfactory marker protein and the olfactory receptors were expressed [1].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of omp

Using RT-PCR and in situ hybridization, it was found that expression of Xenopus olfactory marker protein and of class I receptors, which are thought to be responsible for the perception of water-soluble odorants, was detectable as early as stage 32, less than 2 days after fertilization [2].
