Olfactory marker protein is a cytoplasmic component unique to fully-differentiated olfactory sensory neurons. Expression of this protein probably occurs only if the neurons make synaptic contact with the CNS. Adult olfactory epithelium was transplanted as an autograft to the anterior chamber of the eye. This procedure destroys the mature sensory neurons, which are subsequently replaced by division and differentiation of stem cells. The newly-formed sensory neurons differentiate sufficiently to produce olfactory marker protein, without apparently contacting central nervous tissue. Contact with the CNS is not necessary for expression of olfactory marker protein.
