In Mammals, the TrpC2 Channel is Essential for All of the Following

Question

In mammals, the TrpC2 channel is essential for all of the following except for:
A) olfactory transduction in the accessory olfactory system.
B) males to exhibit normal mating behavior towards females.
C) males to exhibit aggression towards intruder males.
D) males to distinguish between different strains of mice.
E) females to exhibit female-typical behaviors.

Accepted Answer

The CNG channel in the main olfactory system is required for males to exhibit normal mating behavior towards females. However, the TrpC2 channel in the accessory olfactory system is necessary for males to discriminate between species and sex and for females to build nests and care for pups and to repress ultrasonic vocalization and mounting.
