Annotation
| Function | Like other lipocalins, both salivary lipocalin and triabin exhibit a conserved three-dimensiol structure called the lipocalin fold. This fold consists of an eight-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel, which forms a pocket or binding site capable of accommodating small hydrophobic molecules. The ability to bind and transport these molecules is a characteristic feature of lipocalins | ||
