| Research Abstract |
Bovine colostral odorant-binding protein (bcOBP), found in bovine colostrum, is a transport protein belonging to lipocalin superfamily. bcOBP was present not only in milk but also in saliva, nasal mucus, vaginal discharge, and blood plasma. Its mRNA was widely expressed in several tissues. bcOBP was highly specific in terms of ligand recognition.
