Psychiatry related information on Pbprp5

Unlike several other putative OBPs of Drosophila melanogaster that are only found in adult olfactory organs, PBPRP5 is also expressed in the larval olfactory organs, suggesting that it plays a common role in olfaction at both stages [1].

High impact information on Pbprp5

We report here novel features of the localization of two putative OBPs, PBPRP2 and PBPRP5, that have important and different implications for their role in olfaction [1].
In the adult, PBPRP5 expression is restricted to the sensillum lymph that bathes the olfactory dendrites of a subset of olfactory hairs, the basiconic sensilla [1].
