Marine Antifreeze Proteins: Structure, Function, and Application to Cryopreservation as a Potential Cryoprotectant

Abstract: Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are biological antifreezes with unique properties, including thermal hysteresis (TH), ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI), and interaction with membranes and/or membrane proteins. These properties have been utilized in the preservation of biological samples at low temperatures. Here, we review the structure and function of marine-derived AFPs, including moderately active fish AFPs and hyperactive polar AFPs. We also survey previous and current reports of cryopreservation using AFP… Show more

“…Because of the special cryoprotective activity of AFPs, their development and application have recently attracted extensive attention. For example, AFP has potential commercial applications in frozen food processing and storage, cell preservation, organ transplantation, and cryosurgery (Kim et al., ). As a novel food additive, the application of AFPs in food industries has been widely reported (Gaukel, Leiter, & Spieß, ; Ustun & Turhan, ; Wang, Agyare, & Damodaran, ; Zhang et al., ).…”
