Novel OBP genes similar to hamster Aphrodisin in the bank vole, Myodes glareolus

Abstract

In this study three novel mRNA variants for Odorant binding proteins were identified and their particular products were confirmed on the protein level in saliva and urine of Myodes glareolus. These novel genes are highly similar to hamster Aphrodisin.
