A novel lipocalin homologue from the venom gland of Deinagkistrodon acutus similar to mammalian lipocalins
Lipocalins are involved in a variety of functions including retinol transport, cryptic coloration, olfaction, pheromone transport, prostaglandin synthesis, regulation of the immune response and cell homeostatic mediation. A full-length cDNA clone (named d-lipo), isolated from the venom gland cDNA li...
