The main olfactory epithelium from a postnatal day 4 mouse. Tissue was stained for olfactory marker protein (OMP, red), Wnt‐5a (green) and DRAQ5 (blue). All the mature, OMP‐expressing, olfactory sensory neurons showed Wnt‐5a expression. Wnt‐5a expression appears to cap the nucleus of olfactory sensory neurons apically in a position that is consistent with the localization of the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus. J. Comp.
