Odorant-Binding Proteins
Abstract
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. Several members of this class of proteins have been isolated and characterized both in insects and vertebrates; in most species two or three types of OBPs are expressed in the nasal area. Vertebrates OBPs show significant sequence similarity with a superfamily of soluble carrier proteins called lipocalins. They include some proteins of particular interest that are thought to be involved in the mechanism of releasing and modulating chemical messages with pheromonal activity. The data on vertebrate OBPs are here reviewed together with the most relevant information on related proteins. Theories and models of the physiological functions of odorant-binding proteins are presented and discussed.

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.
