Comprehensive Sequence Analysis of Parvalbumins in Fish and Their Comparison with Parvalbumins in Tetrapod Species [PDF]
Parvalbumins are small molecules with important functions in Ca2+ signaling, but their sequence comparisons to date, especially in fish, have been relatively poor.

Linear epitopes of bony fish β-parvalbumins [PDF]
IntroductionFish β-parvalbumins are common targets of allergy-causing immunity. The nature of antibody responses to such allergens determines the biological outcome following exposure to fish. Specific epitopes on these allergens recognised by antibodies

Molecular and gene expression analyses of chicken oncomodulin and their association with breast myopathies in broilers [PDF]
: Oncomodulins (OCMs), also known as non-α-parvalbumins, are small molecules known for their high-affinity binding of Ca2+ ions. They play crucial roles as Ca2+ buffers and participate in signaling pathways within muscle and neuron cells.

Obvious and hidden ways of sensitization for children with food allergies and atopic dermatitis
Recent decades see a steady increase in the number of patients suffering from food allergies worldwide. Children have a variety of clinical symptoms of food allergy. Some patients have local allergic reaction in the oral cavity, other — atopic dermatitis

A Cross-Reactive Human Single-Chain Antibody for Detection of Major Fish Allergens, Parvalbumins, and Identification of a Major IgE-Binding Epitope. [PDF]
Fish allergy is associated with moderate to severe IgE-mediated reactions to the calcium binding parvalbumins present in fish muscle. Allergy to multiple fish species is caused by parvalbumin-specific cross-reactive IgE recognizing conserved epitopes. In

Chemical basis of prey recognition in thamnophiine snakes: the unexpected new roles of parvalbumins. [PDF]
Detecting and locating prey are key to predatory success within trophic chains. Predators use various signals through specialized visual, olfactory, auditory or tactile sensory systems to pinpoint their prey.
