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

Binding specificities of cellular retinol-binding protein and cellular retinol-binding protein, type II.

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1987
Cellular retinol-binding protein (CRBP) and cellular retinol-binding protein, type ii (CRBP(II] are cytoplasmic proteins that bind trans-retinol as an endogenous ligand. These proteins are structurally similar having greater than 50% sequence homology. Employing fluorescence, absorbance, and competition studies, the ability of pure preparations of CRBP(

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...
