Functional evolution of duplicated odorant-binding protein genes, Obp57d and Obp57e, in Drosophila.

Odorant-binding proteins (OBPs) are extracellular proteins found in insect chemosensilla, where they participate in the sensing of odors, tastes, and pheromones. Although a large number of OBP genes have been identified in insect genomes, their molecular functions and biological roles have been clar...
