ODORANT BINDING PROTEINS -
Odorant Binding Proteins (OBP) are small (10 to 30 kDa) proteins secreted by auxiliary cells surrounding the olfactory receptor neurons. OBPs are characterized by a specific protein domain that comprises six α-helices joined by three disulfide bonds. Although the full function of the OBPs is not well established, it is believed that they may act as molecular carriers that transport odorants and deliver them to the olfactory receptors located on the sensory neurons. (Adapted from FBrf0205523).
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Present in the aqueous fluid surrounding olfactory sensory dendrites and are thought to aid in the capture and transport of hydrophobic odorants into and through this fluid.

      Shows particularly robust cycling of transcription in adult heads, as assessed by expression analysis using high density oligonucleotide arrays with probe generated during three 12-point time course experiments over the course of 6 days. Shows significant change of expression pattern in circadian mutant background; increased expression in per01, tim01 and decreased expression in ClkJrk background.

      (Claridge-Chang et al., 2001)

      Identified as a gene with significant level of mRNA cycling as assessed by expression analysis using high density oligonucleotide arrays with probe generated from adult heads harvested over six time points over the course of a day. Shows alteration in expression in a Clk mutant background.
