Copper isotope composition of hemocyanin
Copper is a metal that plays a central role in biology, for example, as co-factor in various redox enzymes. Its stable isotopic composition is being used as tracer of its transport in living organisms and as a biomarker for diseases affecting its homeostasis.

Molluscan mega-hemocyanin: an ancient oxygen carrier tuned by a ~550 kDa polypeptide
Background The allosteric respiratory protein hemocyanin occurs in gastropods as tubular di-, tri- and multimers of a 35 × 18 nm, ring-like decamer with a collar complex at one opening. The decamer comprises five subunit dimers.

Hemocyanin‐derived phenoloxidase reaction products display anti‐infective properties
Hemocyanin is a multi‐functional protein located in the hemolymph (blood) of certain arthropods and molluscs. In addition to its well‐defined role in oxygen transport, hemocyanin can be converted into a phenoloxidase‐like enzyme.

Preliminary Analysis of Hemocyanins in Hemolymph Plasma of Baikal Endemic Amphipods [PDF]
Two-dimensional electrophoresis of plasma hemolymph proteins of several endemic Baikal amphipod species showed that, as expected, hemocyanin is the main major protein in plasma of these species.
