ABSTRACT An olfactory system-specific protein of24kDa (N24) was identified in kokanee salmon
(Oncorhynchus nerka) by the comparison of proteins restricted to the olfactory system (olfactory
epithelium, olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb) with those found in other parts of the brain
(telencephalon, optic tectum, cerebellum, hypothalamus) and hypophysis. A polyclonal antibody to
N24 was raised in a rabbit, and the specificity of the antiserum was examined by Western blotting
analysis; the antiserum recognizedonlyone 24kDaband inthe olfactorysystem but not inotherparts
ofthebraininkokaneesalmon,sockeyesalmon(O. nerka),masusalmon(O. masou)andchumsalmon
(O. keta). Immunocytochemical analysisrevealed that positive immunoreactivityoccurred exclusively
in the olfactory nerve and in some olfactory neuroepithelial cells. Both at the time of imprinting of
maternal stream odorants and at the time ofhoming to the maternal stream, the immunoreactivity of
N24infish in the maternal streamwasstrongerthanthat inseawaterfish. The presentstudyindicates
that an olfactory system-specific protein may be importantly related to both imprinting and homing
mechanisms in salmonids.
