Structure of prototypical mouse urinary protein. The crystal structure consists of eight β-strands, forming a calyx-shaped barrel (red); this encloses an internal ligand-binding site. There are also an α-helix (green) and four 310-helices (blue); the hydrophobic pocket is located inside the barrel. AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH, HI, AND βI denote the amino-acid segments between the β-strands (This diagram taken from Ref. [95])
