Pheromone binding protein

IntroductionIntroduction

Pheromone binding proteins are soluble proteins invovled in the early stages of pheromone detection.

Pheromone-binding protein [1] of the honeybee Apis mellifera L. (Hymenoptera: Apidea) was first isolated and charecterised by Danty et al. (1998)^[1] from the bee antennae.
