Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins is involved in lipid transport and metabolism. Members of this family are known to mediate the transport of various lipid types within the hemolymph, likely by forming lipoprotein particles that can bind to lipids and lipoproteins. Additionally, these proteins may play a role in the immune response by binding to specific pathogen-associated molecular patterns, such as alpha-1,3-glucan found on fungal cell walls, thereby activating the host's defense mechanisms.
