藤壶水泥是一种水下粘性不溶性蛋白质复合物。无脊椎动物如藤壶、贻贝等分泌的海洋蛋白质在水环境中具有不溶性，可粘附于各种基质，具有潜在的应用价值。藤壶粘附蛋白的粘附特性已被用于各种牙科和医疗目的。目前需要这些多酚蛋白质，因为它们是无毒的生物材料、高效的胶，并且很难产生针对这些蛋白质的抗体，并且由于这种低免疫原性对于人类应用也是有吸引力的。本文简要介绍了藤壶粘附蛋白的生化组成及其应用。(c)2006爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Barnacle cement is an underwater adhesive insoluble protein complex. Marine proteins secreted by the invertebrates such as barnacles and mussels have potential application as powerful adhesives as they insolubilize and adhere to variety of substrates in aqueous environment. The adhesive properties of the barnacle adhesive proteins have been utilized for various dental and medical purposes. These polyphenolic proteins are currently in demand as they are non-toxic biomaterial, highly effective glues and it is very difficult to raise antibodies against these proteins and owing to this low immunogenicity is also attractive for human applications. This review provides a brief account of biochemical composition of barnacle adhesive proteins and their applications. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
