Odorant‐binding proteins (OBPs) and chemosensory proteins (CSPs) are regarded as
carriers of pheromones and odorants in insect chemoreception. These proteins are typically …

Detection of chemical signals both in insects and in vertebrates is mediated by soluble
proteins, highly concentrated in olfactory organs, which bind semiochemicals and activate …

Our understanding of the molecular and biochemical mechanisms that mediate
chemoreception in insects has been greatly improved after the discovery of olfactory and …

The female Aedes aegypti salivary gland plays a pivotal role in bloodmeal acquisition and
reproduction, and thereby dengue virus (DENV) transmission. It produces numerous …

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are small soluble polypeptides found in sensory organs of
vertebrates and insects as well as in secretory glands and are dedicated to detection and …

Insects are analytical chemists par excellence. They perceive the world through
semiochemicals with inordinate sensitivity. A male moth, for example, can detect a “scent of …

Odour perception has been the object of fast growing research interest in the last three
decades. Parallel to the study of the corresponding biological systems, attempts are being …

Odour and pheromone perception occurs through a complex series of events, many aspects
of which have been elucidated in the most recent years. The discovery of membrane-bound …

Abstract Introduction Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are a class of small molecular weight
soluble proteins that exist as expanded gene families in all insects, acting as ligand carriers …

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) mediate both perception and release of semiochemicals in
insects. These proteins are the ideal targets for understanding the olfactory code of insects …
