| Research Abstract |
In the mouse olfactory system, each olfactory sensory neuron expresses only one functioned odorant receptor (OR) gene in a mutually exclusive and mono-allelic manner. In this study, we analyzed how single OR gene is chosen by one of locus control regions and what kind of signals via a functional OR molecule suppress the expression of additional OR genes.
