General annotation (Comments)

Function

Binds the carotenoid astaxanthin (AXT) which provides the blue coloration to the carapace of the lobster.

Subunit structure

Subcellular location

Secreted › extracellular space.

Tissue specificity

Found in the carapace.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.
