Two Odorant-Binding Protein Genes in Mosquitoes: Comparative Genomics, Expression, and Function
Insect Odorant-Binding Proteins (OBPs) are small, water-soluble molecules that solubilize hydrophobic odorant molecules in the sensillum lymph and transport them to their cognate receptors in the olfactory receptor neurons. With the availability of the genome sequence of the African malaria mosquito...
