CRBP I and CRABP I localisation during olfactory nerve development

Retinoic acid appears to play a role during the formation of the olfactory system. Immunohistochemistry was used to localise the cellular retinoid binding-proteins for retinol (CRBP I) and retinoic acid (CRABP I) in the embryonic and adult olfactory system. Our results indicate that RA produced by t...

Zusammenfassung:Retinoic acid appears to play a role during the formation of the olfactory system. Immunohistochemistry was used to localise the cellular retinoid binding-proteins for retinol (CRBP I) and retinoic acid (CRABP I) in the embryonic and adult olfactory system. Our results indicate that RA produced by the CRBP I-expressing `glia-like' cells may act as a neurotrophic factor for the CRABP I-expressing immature olfactory axons.
