Hemocyanin genes as indicators of habitat shifts in Panpulmonata?
, 2019 Hemocyanin is the primary respiratory protein for the majority of the Mollusca and therefore directly interfaces with the physiological requirements of each species and the environments to which they are adapted.

International Journal of Genomics, 2016 Hemocyanin is a copper-containing protein with immune function against disease. In this study, a hemocyanin subunit named MnHc-1 was cloned from Macrobrachium nipponense. The full-length cDNA of MnHc-1 was 2,163 bp with a 2,028-bp open reading frame (ORF)

Cryo-EM reveals the asymmetric assembly of squid hemocyanin
IUCrJ, 2019 The oxygen transporter of molluscs, hemocyanin, consists of long pearl-necklace-like subunits of several globular domains. The subunits assemble in a complex manner to form cylindrical decamers.

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019 Mollusk hemocyanins have biomedical uses as carriers/adjuvants and nonspecific immunostimulants with beneficial clinical outcomes by triggering the production of proinflammatory cytokines in antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and driving immune responses ...

Developmental expression of two Haliotis asinina hemocyanin isoforms
, 2005 Hemocyanins are large copper-containing respiratory proteins that play a role in oxygen transport in many molluscs. In some species only one hemocyanin isoform is present while in others two are expressed. The physiological relevance of these isoforms is

The Planorbid Snail Biomphalaria glabrata Expresses a Hemocyanin-Like Sequence in the Albumen Gland.
PLoS ONE, 2016 The parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni, causative agent of human intestinal schistosomiasis in South America, relies importantly on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host to achieve development of cercariae that infect humans.

A Synthetic Model of Hemocyanin
, 2018 Hemocyanin is a very common respiratory protein which is known to contain a di-copper active site which selectively binds dioxgygen. There has been extensive study of this protein for many years due to its relative ubiquity.

Hemocyanin Function in Active and Dormant Land Snails, Otala lactea
, 1986 The respiratory function of hemocyanin was assessed in active and dormant individuals and in active individuals at different body temperatures. Hemocyanin oxygen affinity and oxygen-carrying capacity were low (P50 = 43 torr at pH 7.9, body temperature ...

[Hemocyanins as immunostimulants].
Revista medica de Chile, 2012 Hemocyanins, the giant oxygen transporter glycoproteins of diverse mollusks, are xenogenic to the mammalian immune system and they display a remarkable immuno-genicity. Therefore they are ideal non-specific immunostimulants to treat some types of cancer. They are used as an alternative therapy for superficial urinary bladder cancer (SBC), that has been
