behavior/neurological
• with IFT88 absent from type B olfactory sensory neurons, homozygotes fail to respond to NaHS by the usual dose-dependent avoidance behavior or the increased stress-induced self-grooming that occurs that occurs in controls, but respond with normal avoidance and increased self-grooming to hypoxia
|
homeostasis/metabolism
• Type B olfactory sensory neurons of the main olfactory epithelium respond normally to hypoxia but fail to respond to NaHS
