In situ hybridization analysis of olfactory receptor expression in the sea turtle olfactory organ

Shoko Nakamuta et al.

Summary: The olfactory organ of turtles has an upper chamber epithelium (UCE) with associated glands and a lower chamber epithelium (LCE) devoid of glands. The UCE is responsible for detecting airborne odorants, while the LCE detects waterborne odorants. This study investigated the localization of odorant receptors (ORs) in green sea turtle hatchlings, finding that class I ORs were mainly expressed in the LCE, suggesting its sensitivity to waterborne odorants, whereas class II ORs were expressed in both the UCE and LCE, indicating that the entire olfactory organ detects airborne odorants. The widespread expression of class II ORs may enhance sea turtles' ability to sense airborne odorants.
