Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are abundant soluble proteins secreted in the nasal mucus of a variety of species which are believed to be involved in the transport of odorants towards olfactory receptors. In this study, we report the functional characterization of mouse OBP5 (mOBP5). mOBP5 was recombinantly expressed as a hexahistidine-tagged...

Odorant-binding proteins are soluble proteins abundantly secreted in the nasal mucus of vertebrates. Although their physiological functions are not known, these proteins are suspected to have a carrier role in solubilizing and carrying hydrophobic odorant molecules to the olfactory receptors. Here, we describe the expression of functional mouse...

Over the past two decades, the use of odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) for the development of biosensors and bioelectronic noses (bioeNs) aimed at detecting and analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) has been the subject of considerable research. However, there is a lack of fundamental studies for better understanding the interaction...
