Disease relevance of Kryptocyanine

 

High impact information on Kryptocyanine

 

Anatomical context of Kryptocyanine

  • Both proteins are specifically expressed in the same type of cell in the hepatopancreas and secreted into the hemolymph, but cryptocyanin plays a major role in forming the new exoskeleton, while hemocyanin functions in oxygen transport [3].
 

Associations of Kryptocyanine with other chemical compounds

  • The photophysical properties of 1,1'-diethyl-4,4'-carbocyanine chloride (kryptocyanine) have been measured in methanol solution and for the dye bound to human serum albumin, incorporated in neutral micelles and after incubation with leukemia cells [4].
 

Gene context of Kryptocyanine

  • Cryptocyanin resembles insect hexamerins in the lack of copper, molt cycle patterns of biosynthesis, and potential contributions to the new exoskeleton [2].
