CC   -!- FUNCTION: Colony queen number, a major feature of social organization,
CC       is associated with worker genotype for Gp-9. Colonies are headed by
CC       either a single reproductive queen (monogyne form) or multiple queens
CC       (polygyne form). Differences in worker Gp-9 genotypes between social
CC       forms may cause differences in workers' abilities to recognize queens
CC       and regulate their numbers (By similarity).
CC       {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8WP90}.
CC   -!- SUBUNIT: Homodimer. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20797}.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the PBP/GOBP family. {ECO:0000255}.
