Ammonia stress affects the structure and function of hemocyanin in Penaeus vannamei
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Anthropogenic factors and climate change have serious effects on the aquatic ecosystem and aquaculture. Among water pollutants, ammonia has the greatest impact on aquaculture organisms such as penaeid shrimp because it makes them more susceptible to ...

Hemocyanin controls Vibrio levels in hemolymph by modulating intracellular ROS via p38 MAPK [PDF]
VirulenceRedox reactions are essential for various biological processes, hence, maintaining redox homeostasis is critical for cellular health and host–microbe interactions, particularly in marine invertebrates, where these processes remain poorly understood. This

Litopenaeus vannamei hemocyanin exhibits antitumor activity in S180 mouse model in vivo. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Hemocyanin is a multifunctional glycoprotein, which also plays multiple roles in immune defense. While it has been demonstrated that hemocyanin from some mollusks can induce potent immune response and is therefore undergoing clinical trials to be used in

Crystallization and preliminary analysis of crystals of the 24-meric hemocyanin of the emperor scorpion (Pandinus imperator). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Hemocyanins are giant oxygen transport proteins found in the hemolymph of several invertebrate phyla. They constitute giant multimeric molecules whose size range up to that of cell organelles such as ribosomes or even small viruses.
