Identification, characterization and expression analysis of rLcn13, an epididymal lipocalin in rats
As the essential tissue for sperm maturation and storage, the epididymis secretes a number of tissue-specific proteins to exert its functions. Among these proteins, epididymal lipocalins have been intensively studied because of their epididymis-specific ...

Changes in the Saliva Proteome of Pigs with Diarrhoea Caused by Escherichia coli
Escherichia coli represents the main cause of diarrhoea in pigs. Saliva can provide information about the pathophysiology of diseases and be a source of biomarkers. We aimed to identify changes in the salivary proteome of pigs with diarrhoea caused by E.

The diversity of lipocalin receptors
Lipocalins are important carriers of preferentially hydrophobic molecules, but they can also bind other ligands, like highly polar siderophores or intact proteins. Consequently, they are involved in a variety of physiological processes in many species.

Lipocalins in Arthropod Chemical Communication [PDF]
Abstract Lipocalins represent one of the most successful superfamilies of proteins. Most of them are extracellular carriers for hydrophobic ligands across aqueous media, but other functions have been reported. They are present in most living organisms including bacteria.

β-Lactoglobulin and Glycodelin: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
The two lipocalins, β-lactoglobulin (βLg) and glycodelin (Gd), are possibly the most closely related members of the large and widely distributed lipocalin family, yet their functions appear to be substantially different.

Metabolic disorders (i.e., hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hyperinsulinemia) cause increased secretion of inflammatory cytokines/chemokines, leading to gradual loss of cardiac resident macrophage population and increased accumulation of inflammatory ...
