A comparison of the structures of the alpha:beta and alpha:gamma dimers of mouse salivary androgen-binding protein (ABP) and their differential steroid binding.

Abstract excerpt

Mouse salivary androgen-binding protein (ABP) is a family of dimeric proteins that may play a pheromonal role in Mus musculus. The protein dimer consists of a common alpha subunit disulfide-bonded to a variable (beta or gamma) subunit. Here we report N-terminal sequences of the beta and gamma subunits, showing that they are very similar to each other while being quite different from the alpha subunit. We...
