Figure 2.

Stoml3 KO does not alter the localization or expression level of molecular components of olfactory transduction. A–F, Confocal micrographs of coronal sections of the olfactory epithelium from WT and KO mice immunostained for ACIII, CNGA2, or TMEM16B. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). G, Western blot analysis of olfactory epithelium proteins for STOML3, ACIII, CNGA2, TMEM16B, OMP, and α-tubulin. The specific 32-kDa band for STOML3 is missing in proteins from KO mice. H, Expression levels relative to α-tubulin for the indicated proteins in olfactory epithelium from 10 WT and KO mice.
