Protein attributes

Sequence length	153 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Colony queen number, a major feature of social organization, is associated with worker genotype for Gp-9. Colonies are headed by either a single reproductive queen (monogyne form) or multiple queens (polygyne form). Differences in worker Gp-9 genotypes between social forms may cause differences in workers' abilities to recognize queens and regulate their numbers. Ref.1 Ref.2
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity. UniProtKB P20797
Subcellular location	Secreted By similarity.
Polymorphism	Allele shown represents B1, B2 and B3, a monogyne population from USA and B1, a monogyne population from Argentina. Ref.2
Miscellaneous	Workers bearing only the B allele invariably have a single queen, whereas colonies with workers bearing the alternate, b allele have multiple queens. The two social forms differ in many key reproductive and life history characteristics. Ref.2
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the PBP/GOBP family.
