Emperor scorpion hemocyanin crystal.
, 2013 The crystals have the form of small bipyramids and grow to a maximum dimension of 500 µm within weeks after their appearance. The light blue color of the crystals indicated that hemocyanin molecules in the crystal are at least partially oxygenated.

Thermodynamics of effector binding to hemocyanin : influence of temperature. [PDF]
, 2009 Hemocyanins are allosterically regulated oxygen carriers freely dissolved in the blood of many crustaceans. The natural modulator urate accumulates under hypoxic conditions in the hemolymph of Homarus vulgaris, and increases the oxygen affinity of the ...

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.

New data on the presence of hemocyanin in Plecoptera: Recomposing a puzzle [PDF]
, 2011 20 páginas, 4 tablas, 5 figuras.The specific role of hemocyanin in Plecoptera (stoneflies) is still not completely understood, since none of the hypotheses advanced have proven fully convincing. Previous data show that mRNA hemocyanin sequences are not

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

[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
