Egg carotenoproteins in neotropical Ampullariidae (Gastropoda: arquitaenioglossa)
Carotenoid-binding proteins are commonly found in invertebrates. Their carotenoids form
non-covalent complexes with proteins giving tissues a variety of colors. In molluscs they …

First egg protein with a neurotoxic effect on mice
While many invertebrates sequester toxic compounds to endow eggs with chemical
defences, here we show, for the first time to our knowledge, the identification of a neurotoxin …
