A Lipocalin-Derived Peptide Modulating Fibroblasts and Extracellular Matrix Proteins
Lipocalin family members have been implicated in development, regeneration, and pathological processes, but their roles are unclear. Interestingly, these proteins are found abundant in the venom of the Lonomia obliqua caterpillar. Lipocalins are β-barrel proteins, which have three conserved motifs i...
