Ligand Binding Protein Gene

Ligand Binding Protein Genes encode Ligand Binding Proteins, a large class of diverse proteins for which a major function appears to be (typically high affinity) binding of some ligand for solubility, transport, bioactivity regulation, or other nonenzymatic process. Ligand interaction often alters protein molecular conformation and function. (NCI Thesaurus)
