Ovorubin
Ovorubin聽(PcOvo聽or聽PcPV1) is the most abundant聽perivitellin聽(>60聽% total聽protein) of the聽perivitelline fluid聽from聽Pomacea canaliculata聽snail eggs. This glyco-lipo-caroteno protein complex is a approx. 300 kDa multimer of a combination of multiple copies of six different… Read more.

Clusterin聽(apolipoprotein聽J)
Clusterin聽(apolipoprotein聽J) is a 75-80 kDa disulfide-linked heterodimeric聽protein聽associated with the clearance of cellular debris and聽apoptosis. In humans, clusterin is encoded by the聽CLU聽gene聽on chromosome 8.聽CLU is a聽molecular chaperone聽responsible for aiding聽protein folding聽of聽secreted聽proteins, and… Read more.

Complement control protein聽are聽proteins聽that interact with components of the聽complement system
The聽complement system聽is tightly regulated by a network of proteins known as “regulators of complement activation (RCA)” that help distinguish target cells as “self” or “non-self.” A subset of this family… Read more.

Complement receptor type 2聽(CR2)
Complement receptor type 2 (CR2), also known as complement C3d receptor, Epstein-Barr virus receptor, and CD21 (cluster of differentiation 21), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CR2 gene. CR2 is involved in the聽complement system.… Read more.

A聽complement receptor聽is a membrane-bound聽receptor聽belonging to the聽complement system, which is part of the聽innate immune system
Complement receptors bind聽effector聽protein聽fragments that are produced in response to antigen-antibody complexes or damage-associated molecules.聽Complement receptor activation contributes to the regulation of聽inflammation,聽leukocyte extravasation, and聽phagocytosis; it also contributes to the聽adaptive immune response.聽Different… Read more.

Three-finger proteins and three-finger toxins
Three-finger proteins or three-finger protein domains (3FP or TFPD) are a protein superfamily consisting of small, roughly 60-80 amino acid residue protein domains with a common tertiary structure: three beta strand loops extended from a hydrophobic core stabilized by disulfide bonds. The family is named for… Read more.
