Bovine Odorant Binding Protein

---

Bovine odorant binding protein, bOBP, is a 19 kDa protein found in the nasal mucosa of the ungulate subfamily Bovinae. It is crucial to eliciting a "sense of smell." Although the exact function oBP is not known (in reality, it likely has several functions), the traditional role ascribed to bOBP is to aid in the transport of volatile odorants from the air to an odorant receptor, and to aid in crossing the aqueous mucus layer. To perform this feat, bOBP utilizes two

Structure

What are the basic parameters of bOBP?

bOBP is a homodimer of two virtually symmetrical subunits held together noncovalently.
