Everything about Odorant Binding Protein totally explained
Odorant binding proteins are abundant small soluble
proteins secreted in the nasal
mucus of many animal species and in the sensillar lymph of chemosensory
sensilla of
insects. These proteins were initially identified on the basis of their ability to bind with moderate affinity radioactively labeled odorants (
Pelosi et al., 1982). Based on the generally hydrophobic nature of
odorant molecules,
odorant binding proteins were initially assigned the function of odorant molecule's carriers through the aqueous nasal mucus covering the
olfactory epithelium. Extensive research in the last two decades have extended the range of their putative function, however, the precise physiological role of these proteins still remains elusive.
