Distantly related lipocalins share two conserved clusters of hydrophobic residues: use in homology modeling. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
BACKGROUND: Lipocalins are widely distributed in nature and are found in bacteria, plants, arthropoda and vertebra. In hematophagous arthropods, they are implicated in the successful accomplishment of the blood meal, interfering with platelet aggregation,

The plant Apolipoprotein D ortholog protects Arabidopsis against oxidative stress

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2008
Background Lipocalins are a large and diverse family of small, mostly extracellular proteins implicated in many important functions. This family has been studied in bacteria, invertebrate and vertebrate animals but little is known about these proteins in

Role of lipocalin 2 in stroke

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2023
Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide; however, the treatment choices available to neurologists are limited in clinical practice. Lipocalin 2 (LCN2) is a secreted protein, belonging to the lipocalin superfamily, with multiple biological functions in mediating innate immune response, inflammatory response, iron-homeostasis, cell ...

Targeting neutrophil extracellular traps in metabolic and immune niche: Nanomaterials for diabetes tissue regeneration

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The effects of NETs on regeneration of various diabetic tissues, and strategies targeting NETs for diabetes tissue regeneration. In the diabetic environment, NETs undergo complex metabolic and immune reprogramming, leading to dynamic changes in antibacterial and proinflammatory functions, and affecting regeneration of multiple systemic tissues.

Structure and stability of recombinant bovine odorant-binding protein: I. Design and analysis of monomeric mutants [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Bovine odorant-binding protein (bOBP) differs from other lipocalins by lacking the conserved disulfide bond and for being able to form the domain-swapped dimers.

Metal nanostructure‐coupled label‐free localized surface plasmon resonance biosensors for rapid and sensitive disease diagnosis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
LSPR biosensing enables rapid, sensitive, and low‐sample‐volume detection of biomarkers, with broad applications in diagnosing cancer, infectious, and chronic diseases. Advances in nanostructure design, micro/nanofabrication, and microfluidic integration have expanded the potential of LSPR sensors in biomedical diagnostics.

Functional and genomic characterization of LCN2-deficient PC-3 cells reveals insights into prostate cancer progression

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences
IntroductionProstate Cancer-3 (PC-3) cells, commonly used as a model for aggressive, androgen-independent prostate cancer, display numerous genetic alterations that contribute to advanced disease, including the loss of tumor suppressors and dysregulated ...

Critical aspects in dog allergen immunotherapy (DAI). May Component Resolved Diagnosis (CRD) play a role in predicting the efficacy?

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2018
We hypothesize that a pivotal condition determining the efficacy of dog allergen immunotherapy (DAI) might be the mono-sensitization to dog lipocalins (Can f 1-2) in individuals not directly or indirectly exposed to other furry animals.
