The lipocalin website

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
We introduce a website devoted to the lipocalins. The website contains data on lipocalin structures and sequences, as well as reviewing lipocalin biology and biochemistry. Our hope is that it can act as a focus for future research into the lipocalin protein family. The website can be accessed at the following URL: http://www. jenner.ac.uk/lipocalin.htm.

Lipocalins as allergens

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
The term allergy refers to clinical conditions caused by an inappropriate immune response to innocuous proteins in genetically predisposed persons. Allergens of animal origin are responsible for a significant proportion of allergies. In recent years, it has become evident that practically all respiratory animal allergens characterized at the molecular ...

The bacterial lipocalins

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
The lipocalins were once regarded as a eukaryotic protein family, but new members have been recently discovered in bacteria. The first bacterial lipocalin (Blc) was identified in Escherichia coli as an outer membrane lipoprotein expressed under conditions of environmental stress.

Lipocalins and cancer

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
Lipocalins are mainly extracellular carriers of lipophilic molecules, though exceptions with properties like prostaglandin synthesis and protease inhibition are observed for specific lipocalins. The interest concerning lipocalins in cancer has so far been focussed to the variations in concentration and the modification of lipocalin expression in ...

Lipocalins as a scaffold

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
The concept of scaffolds that can be equipped with artificial biochemically active sites has gained recent interest in the field of protein design. Members of the lipocalin protein family represent promising model systems in this respect. Especially prototypic lipocalins, such as the retinol-binding protein or the bilin-binding protein (BBP), exhibit a

Lipocalin allergens

Allergy, 2001
Most animal‐derived major allergens causing respiratory sensitization belong to the family of proteins called lipocalins. Their sequential identity varies but the three‐dimensional structure is conserved. They are present in body fluids and secretions. Several lipocalins are able to bind and transport small hydrophobic ligands like retinol.

Animal Lipocalin Allergens

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2012
Lipocalins represent the most important group of inhalant animal allergens. For some of them, three-dimensional protein structures have been resolved, but their functions are still elusive. Lipocalins generally display a low sequence identity between family members.

Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2010
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major clinical problem in hospitalized patients. Effective treatment and early diagnosis of this syndrome are not currently available. This review focuses on recent studies examining the biological characteristics and the diagnostic and prognostic value of a novel biomarker--neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ...

Human tear lipocalin

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Protein Structure and Molecular Enzymology, 2000
Human tear prealbumin, now called tear lipocalin, was originally described as a major protein of human tear fluid, which was thought to be tear specific. However, recent investigations demonstrated that it is identical with lingual von Ebner's gland protein, and is also produced in prostate, nasal mucosa and tracheal mucosa.
