Pheromone binding protein

IntroductionIntroduction

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

As a model protein of this family we will further describe the well investigated Pheromone binding protein of the honey bee.

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