Abstract excerpt
The invertebrate odorant-binding proteins consist of a large family of low-molecular-weight, highly divergent proteins expressed exclusively in the chemosensory sensilla of insects. Each member of this family studied to date is secreted into the sensillum lymph of a small subset of sensilla by non-neuronal support cells. These expression patterns suggests an odor-specific function for these proteins as opposed to...
