Odorant-Binding Proteins

Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1994
Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are low-molecular-weight soluble proteins highly concentrated in the nasal mucus of vertebrates and in the sensillar lymph of insects. Their affinity toward odors and pheromones suggests a role in olfactory perception, but their physiological function has not been clearly defined.

Odorant-binding proteins in insects

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1995
This paper reviews the characteristics of pheromone and odorant-binding proteins (OBP) in insects, with particular reference to Lepidoptera. They are small (15 kDa) soluble proteins, very concentrated in the lymph of chemosensory sensilla and belonging to two major classes, pheromone-binding proteins (PBP) and general odorant-binding proteins.

Mammalian odorant binding proteins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) pertain to one of the most abundant classes of proteins found in the olfactory apparatus. OBPs are a sub-class of lipocalins, defined by their property of reversibly binding volatile chemicals, that we call 'odorants'. Numerous sequences of OBPs are now available, derived from protein sequencing from nasal mucus material,

Odorant‐binding proteins of mammals

Biological Reviews, 2021
ABSTRACTOdorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) of vertebrates belong to the lipocalin superfamily and perform a dual function: solubilizing and ferrying volatile pheromones to the olfactory receptors, and complexing the same molecules in specialized glands and assisting their release into the environment.
