Functional Specialization of Human Salivary Glands and Origins of Proteins Intrinsic to Human Saliva
Cell Reports, 2020 Salivary proteins are essential for maintaining health in the oral cavity and proximal digestive tract and serve as a diagnostic window into human disease. However, their precise organ origins remain unclear.

Some Good and Some Bad: Sand Fly Salivary Proteins in the Control of Leishmaniasis and in Autoimmunity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Sand flies are hematophagous insects responsible for the transmission of vector-borne diseases to humans. Prominent among these diseases is Leishmaniasis that affects the skin and mucous surfaces and organs such as liver and spleen.

Analysis of the association between salivary proteins and oral mucositis in patients with head and neck cancer undergoing IMRT: a longitudinal study [PDF]
BMC Oral HealthIntroduction This longitudinal study assessed the association between salivary protein composition and the clinical onset/severity of oral mucositis (OM) in patients with head and neck tumours treated with intensity-modulated-radiotherapy (IMRT). Methods

Proteomic analysis of immunogenic proteins from salivary glands of Aedes aegypti
Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2015 Summary: Humans develop anti-salivary proteins after arthropod bites or exposure to insect salivary proteins. This reaction indicates that vector bites have a positive effect on the host immune response, which can be used as epidemiological markers of ...

Salivary proteins potentially derived from horizontal gene transfer are critical for salivary sheath formation and other feeding processes [PDF]
Communications BiologyHerbivorous insects employ an array of salivary proteins to aid feeding. However, the mechanisms behind the recruitment and evolution of these genes to mediate plant-insect interactions remain poorly understood.

Salivary Proteins as Dental Caries Biomarkers: A Systematic Review
Caries Research, 2022 Salivary proteins play an important role in repairing mechanisms of damaged tissues and the maintenance of oral health. However, there is a dearth of information in the literature regarding the concentrations of salivary proteins in caries-free (CF) and ...

Sorting and Secretion of Salivary Proteins [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1993 Most salivary proteins are stored in secretion granules prior to export from acinar cells in response to neural stimuli. A small subset of these proteins undergo unstimulated secretion without apparent storage. This pathway probably comprises vesicles that bud from maturing storage granules and carries proteins that do not aggregate efficiently at the

May salivary gland secretory proteins from hematophagous leeches (Hirudo verbana) reach pharmacologically relevant concentrations in the vertebrate host? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Saliva of hematophagous leeches (Hirudo sp.) contains bioactive proteins which allow the leech proper feeding and storage of ingested blood, but may also exert effects in the host.
