Vomeromodulin is a non-human protein also known as BPI fold containing family B, member 9 (BPIFB9) in the rat encoded by the Bpifb9/RYF3 gene,^[3]^[4] and as BPI fold containing family B, member 9A (BPIFB9A) encoded by the Bpifb9a gene in the mouse.^[5] This protein has been characterized in mammals such as rodents, carnivores, even-toed ungulates, insectivores, bats, lagomorphs, and shrews^[6] but is apparently absent in primates and other vertebrates such as birds, reptiles, and amphibians. Its function is associated with detection of chemical odorant pheromone molecules.

In humans no protein is expressed and it is present only as a pseudogene BPIFB9P.^[7] The pseudogene was named based on its functional ortholog found in the other species.^[8]
