Odorant‐Binding Proteins: Expression and Function
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) are a major constituent of the aqueous perireceptor compartment in vertebrates and in insects. Although different in primary structure, they are supposed to serve similar functions in both animal groups: (i) OBPs may act as solubilizers and carriers of the lipophilic odorants in the aqueous mucus or sensillum lymph; (ii) OBPs may act in addition as peripheral filters in odor discrimination by selectively binding certain classes of odorants; (iii) OBPs may present the stimulus molecule in a particular way to the receptor proteins to facilitate signal transduction; (iv) OBPs may clean the perireceptor space from unwanted and toxic compounds; (v) OBPs may rapidly deactivate odorants after stimulation of the receptors. Experimental evidence in favor of this multiple role of OBPs is reviewed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
