Molecular cloning of a novel mouse aspartic protease-like protein that is expressed abundantly in the kidney.

abstract：:LUSH is a soluble odorant-binding protein of the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. Mutants not expressing this protein have been reported to lack the avoidance behaviour, exhibited by wild type flies, to high concentrations of ethanol. Very recently, the three-dimensional structure of LUSH complexed with short-chain ...
