Abstract
The present invention is directed to a family of phospholipid binding and transporting proteins, a method for preparing same from fungi, and their use in cosmeticology, the agri-foodstuffs industry and pharmacology Phospholipid proteins are capable of binding, transporting and/or rearranging lipids between membranes, optionally in combination with active principles. Furthermore, the phospholipid proteins are hydrophobic and acidic, have a molecular weight of under 50 kDa, and may be prepared from a non-toxic filamentous fungus capable of developing on a lipid-enriched medium, particularly from raw extracts of fungi.
