Potential cooperations between odorant-binding proteins of the scarab beetle Holotrichia oblita Faldermann (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).
It was previously thought that the odorant binding proteins (OBPs) in the sensillum lymph might serve as carriers, which could carry lipophilic odorant molecules to olfactory receptors. In this study, two novel OBP genes of the scarab beetle Holotrichia oblita were screened using an antennal cDNA li...
