Product Description

Odorant-binding protein required for olfactory behavior and for activity of pheromone-sensitive neurons. Binds to alcohols and mediates avoidance behavior to high concentrations of alcohols, the alcohol-binding possibly resulting in activation of receptors on T2B neurons, the activation of these receptors inhibiting these neurons. Acts in concert with Snmp and lush to capture cVA molecules on the surface of Or67d expressing olfactory dendrites and facilitate their transfer to the odorant-receptor Orco complex. Required for cVA response, probably by binding to VA. May act by serving as an adapter that bridges the presence of gaseous pheromone molecules, cVA, to activation of specific neuronal receptors expressed on T1 olfactory neurons, possibly via a specific conformational change induced by cVA that in turn activates T1 receptors. T1 neurons are excited by the pheromone VA, while T2 neurons are inhibited by alcohols. Also binds to phthalates.
