Lipocalins – a family portrait

Journal of Plant Physiology, 2006
Lipocalins are a widely distributed group of proteins whose common feature is the presence of six-or eight-stranded beta-barrel in their tertiary structure and highly conservative motifs short conserved region, (SCR) in their amino acid sequences. The presence of three SCRs is typical for kernel lipocalins, while outlier lipocalins have only one or two

Mammalian derived lipocalin and secretoglobin respiratory allergens strongly bind ligands with potentially immune modulating properties

Frontiers in Allergy, 2022
Allergens from furry animals frequently cause sensitization and respiratory allergic diseases. Most relevant mammalian respiratory allergens belong either to the protein family of lipocalins or secretoglobins.

The Neutrophil Gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), a NF-kB regulated gene, is a survival factor for thyroid neoplastic cells [PDF]

, 2008
NF-κB is constitutively activated in primary human thyroid tumors, particularly in those of anaplastic type. The inhibition of NF-κB activity in the human anaplastic thyroid carcinoma cell line, FRO, leads to an increased susceptibility to ...

Biological Functions of RBP4 and Its Relevance for Human Diseases

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021
Retinol binding protein 4 (RBP4) is a member of the lipocalin family and the major transport protein of the hydrophobic molecule retinol, also known as vitamin A, in the circulation.

Levels of apolipoprotein M are not associated with the risk of coronary heart disease in two independent case-control studies

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Apolipoprotein M (apoM), a 25 kDa plasma protein belonging to the lipocalin protein family, is predominantly associated with HDL. Studies in mice have suggested apoM to be important for the formation of pre-β-HDL and to increase cholesterol efflux from ...

Structural and ligand binding analysis of the pet allergens Can f 1 and Fel d 7

Frontiers in Allergy, 2023
IntroductionPet lipocalins are respiratory allergens with a central hydrophobic ligand-binding cavity called a calyx. Molecules carried in the calyx by allergens are suggested to influence allergenicity, but little is known about the native ligands ...

Análisis in silico de lipocalinas de perro, gato, caballo, vaca, hámster y gallina. Posible efecto en el estudio de las enfermedades alérgicas

Revista Alergia México, 2016
Background: Lipocalins seem to explain the cross-reactivity between some pets like cat and dog. However, little has been studied its role in other animals and its possible clinical impact in allergy diseases.
