nervous system
• the density of olfactory sensory neurons with the Olfr124 locus actively transcribed is 14 times lower than normal in the septal organ
• lacking the endogenous OLFR124 protein, olfactory sensory neurons actively transcribing this locus have significantly reduced response to odorants that stimulate olfactory sensory neurons expressing normal OLFR124

taste/olfaction
• the density of olfactory sensory neurons with the Olfr124 locus actively transcribed is 14 times lower than normal in the septal organ
• lacking the endogenous OLFR124 protein, olfactory sensory neurons actively transcribing this locus have significantly reduced response to odorants that stimulate olfactory sensory neurons expressing normal OLFR124

craniofacial
• the density of olfactory sensory neurons with the Olfr124 locus actively transcribed is 14 times lower than normal in the septal organ
• lacking the endogenous OLFR124 protein, olfactory sensory neurons actively transcribing this locus have significantly reduced response to odorants that stimulate olfactory sensory neurons expressing normal OLFR124

respiratory system
• the density of olfactory sensory neurons with the Olfr124 locus actively transcribed is 14 times lower than normal in the septal organ
• lacking the endogenous OLFR124 protein, olfactory sensory neurons actively transcribing this locus have significantly reduced response to odorants that stimulate olfactory sensory neurons expressing normal OLFR124

growth/size/body
• the density of olfactory sensory neurons with the Olfr124 locus actively transcribed is 14 times lower than normal in the septal organ
• lacking the endogenous OLFR124 protein, olfactory sensory neurons actively transcribing this locus have significantly reduced response to odorants that stimulate olfactory sensory neurons expressing normal OLFR124
