CDNA cloning and sequencing of Octopus dofleini hemocyanin
Hemocyanins are oxygen transport molecules found only in molluscs and arthropods. They are very large molecules with molecular weights in the range of several million Daltons.

[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

3D-electron microscopy of different conformations of cephalopod hemocyanins
, 2010 Die Hämocyanine der Cephalopoden Nautilus pompilius und Sepia officinalis sorgen für den Sauerstofftransport zwischen den Kiemen und den Geweben. Sie bestehen aus einem zylindrischen Dekamer mit interner Kragenstruktur.

Evolution of molluscan hemocyanin structures
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Proteins and Proteomics, 2013 Hemocyanin transports oxygen in the hemolymph of many molluscs and arthropods and is therefore a central physiological factor in these animals. Molluscan hemocyanin molecules are oligomers composed of many protein subunits that in turn encompass subsets of distinct functional units.

EVOLUTION OF ARTHROPOD HEMOCYANINS AND INSECT STORAGE PROTEINS (HEXAMERINS)
, 1994 Crustacean and cheliceratan hemocyanins (oxygen-transport proteins) and insect hexamerins (storage proteins) are homologous gene products, although the latter do not bind oxygen and do not possess the copper-binding histidines present in the hemocyanins.
