Crustins: enigmatic WAP domain-containing antibacterial proteins from crustaceans
Crustins are antibacterial proteins of ca. 7-14 kDa with a characteristic four-disulphide core-containing whey acidic protein (WAP) domain, expressed by the circulating haemocytes of crustaceans. Over 50 crustin sequences have been now reported from a variety of decapods, including crabs, lobsters,...
