Abstract
Lipocalins are characterized by multiple molecular recognition properties i
ncluding the ability to bind to cell surface receptors. Receptors for a num
ber of lipocalins have been identified. These include receptors for alpha -
1-microglobulin, insecticyanin, glycodelin, retinol-binding protein, alpha
-1-acid glycoprotein, beta -lactoglobulin and odorant-binding protein. The
properties of these receptors are summarized and discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevi
