Substantial evidence gathered recently has revealed the multiple functionalities of
hemocyanin. Contrary to previous claims that this ancient protein is involved solely in …

Molluscs display a sophisticated N-glycan pattern on their proteins, which is, in terms of
involved structural features, even more diverse than that of vertebrates. This review …

For the first time the antimicrobial activities of hemocyanins from the molluscs Rapana
venosa (RvH) and Helix aspersa (HaH) have been tested. From the hemolymph of the …

Hemocyanin is an important multifunctional non-specific immune molecule. In this study, we
purified lectin binding and non-lectin binding hemocyanin from Litopenaeus vannamei using …

This study is the first report describing the promising antitumor activity of biologically active
compounds isolated from the hemolymph of marine snail Rapana venosa—a fraction with …

Recently, we found 3 variants of hemocyanin subunit with higher molecular weight in shrimp
Litopenaeus vannamei (Named as LvHMCV1-3). In this study, a novel L. vannamei …

Hemocyanins are oxygen-transporting glycoproteins in the hemolymph of arthropods and
mollusks that attract scientific interest with their diverse biological activities and potential …

Hemocyanin has been shown to have potential antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus
type-1. However, current liquid formulations have short shelf life and high risk of bacterial …

The carbohydrate structures of molluscan hemocyanins have recently received particular
interest due to their specific monosaccharide composition, as well as their …

The cytotoxic activities of hemocyanin from Rapana venosa and its structural subunits with
different oligosaccharide structures are studied in vitro on the bladder cancer permanent cell …
