overall function of Lipocalin family: The lipocalins are a family of proteins which transport small hydrophobic molecules such as steroids, bilins, retinoids, and lipids. | overall function of Lipocalin family: The lipocalins are a family of proteins which transport small hydrophobic molecules such as steroids, bilins, retinoids, and lipids. | ||
Lipocalins have been associated with many biological processes, among them immune response, pheromone transport, biological prostaglandin synthesis, retinoid binding, and cancer cell interactions. | Lipocalins have been associated with many biological processes, among them immune response, pheromone transport, biological prostaglandin synthesis, retinoid binding, and cancer cell interactions. | ||
short description of protein fold: They share limited regions of sequence homology and a common tertiary structure architecture.[2][3][4][5][6] This is an eight stranded antiparallel beta-barrel with a repeated + 1 topology enclosing an internal ligand binding site.[5][4].<ref>PMID:3125435</ref> | short description of protein fold: They share limited regions of sequence homology and a common tertiary structure architecture.[2][3][4][5][6] This is an eight stranded antiparallel beta-barrel with a repeated + 1 topology enclosing an internal ligand binding site.[5][4].<ref>PMID:3125435</ref> | ||
