Biological Roles of Lipocalins in Chemical Communication, Reproduction, and Regulation of Microbiota
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Major evolutionary transitions were always accompanied by genetic remodelling of phenotypic traits. For example, the vertebrate transition from water to land was accompanied by rapid evolution of olfactory receptors and by the expansion of genes encoding

Allergic sensitization to lipocalins reflects asthma morbidity in dog dander sensitized children
Clinical and Translational Allergy, 2022 Background Sensitization to dog is an important risk factor for asthma in children, but the clinical relevance of IgE to available dog‐ and furry animal allergen molecules is uncertain.

An Evolutionary Perspective of the Lipocalin Protein Family
Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 The protein family of Lipocalins is ubiquitously present throughout the tree of life, with the exception of the phylum Archaea. Phylogenetic relationships of chordate Lipocalins have been proposed in the past based on protein sequence similarities, but ...

Structure-Based Phylogenetic Analysis of the Lipocalin Superfamily. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Lipocalins constitute a superfamily of extracellular proteins that are found in all three kingdoms of life. Although very divergent in their sequences and functions, they show remarkable similarity in 3-D structures.

Inhalant Mammal-Derived Lipocalin Allergens and the Innate Immunity
Frontiers in Allergy, 2022 A major part of important mammalian respiratory allergens belongs to the lipocalin family of proteins. By this time, 19 respiratory mammalian lipocalin allergens have been registered in the WHO/IUIS Allergen Nomenclature Database. Originally, lipocalins,

Vulpeculin: a novel and abundant lipocalin in the urine of the common brushtail possum, Trichosurus vulpecula [PDF]
Open Biology, 2020 Lipocalins are a family of secreted proteins. They are capable of binding small lipophilic compounds and have been extensively studied for their role in chemosignalling in rodent urine.
