Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) evolved in various organisms permitting their survival in subzero environments<ref>PMID: 11852248</ref>. They exhibit remarkable structural diversity and molar activities across the various kingdoms | Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) evolved in various organisms permitting their survival in subzero environments<ref>PMID: 11852248</ref>. They exhibit remarkable structural diversity and molar activities across the various kingdoms. The longhorn beetle, Rhagium inquisitor, has the ability to supercool to below -25 °C partially due to the presence of a highly potent AFP (RiAFP) in its hemolymph. RiAFP is a 13-kDa protein with one of the highest antifreeze activities measured for any AFP. | ||
