High impact information on lbp-2

  • A lipid-binding protein (LBP) has been purified from the cytosol of the cestode Moniezia expansa [1].
  • The LBP bound saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, but not their CoA derivatives, with KD values in the range 0.68-7.8 microM [1].
  • The Gibbs free energy for protein folding (13.02 kJ/mol; 3.1 kcal/mol), determined by urea denaturation, was identical for both the native and ligand-bound Moniezia LBP [1].
  • The expression patterns of lbp-2 and lbp-3 were consistent with the secretion of LBP-2 and LBP-3 from muscle into the perienteric fluid later in development [2].
  • NPAs are the only known lipid binding protein made as polyproteins, and are exceptions to the rule that repetitive polyproteins are only produced by cells undergoing programmed cell death and producing specialist products [3].
