Hemocyanin is a large, multi-subunit respiratory protein present in arthropods and mollucs. They circulate extracellularly in hemolymph. Hemocyanins do not contain iron but bind oxygen at an active site containing copper atoms ligated by protein side chains.
Application
Anti-Hemocyanin (KLH) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

Biochem/physiol Actions
Keyhole limpet hemocyanin has been used traditionally as a protein carrier for hapten-carrier conjugates in immunochemistry. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) has been regarded as a superior carrier. Affinity isolated antibody to hemocyanin may be used as a control reagent for the preparation and immunization of hapten-carrier conjugates.

The parasitic flatworm Schistosoma mansoni, causative agent of human intestinal schistosomiasis in South America, relies importantly on the freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata as intermediate host to achieve development of cercariae that infect humans.

The olfactory system is a useful model for studying central nervous system recovery from damage due to its neuroplasticity. We recently developed a novel method of deafferentation by repeated exposure of Triton X-100 to the olfactory organ of adult zebrafish.

The lysosome-associated membrane protein (LAMP) family includes the dendritic cell endocytic receptors DC-LAMP and CD68, as well as LAMP-1 and LAMP-2. In this study we identify LAMP-1 (CD107a) and LAMP-2 (CD107b) on the surface of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MoDC)
Nuclear interleukin-33 is generally expressed in resting endothelium but rapidly lost upon angiogenic or proinflammatory activation
