The antenna of the male B. mori silkworm moth is exquisitely sensitive to the female sex pheromone bombykol; as little as 3,000 molecules of bombykol per mL of air can evoke a behavioral response. This sensitivity requires the use of the pheromone binding protein (PBP) as a carrier to carry the highly hydrophobic pheromone through the aqueous environment of the sensillary lymph to odorant receptors on the olfactory neuron.
