Functional Characterization of Odorant Binding Protein 27 (RproOBP27) From Rhodnius prolixus Antennae

Olfactory proteins mediate a wide range of essential behaviors for insect survival. Odorant binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble olfactory proteins involved in the transport of odor molecules (=odorants) through the sensillum lymph to odorant receptors, which are housed on the dendritic membran...
