Abstract
Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are a unique class of proteins that enables certain fish species to survive in extremely cold environments. These proteins can bind to ice crystals and inhibit their growth, thereby preventing freezing. Fish produce a range of AFPs with different structures and mechanisms of action, making them a fascinating research subject. The study of AFPs in fish has provided valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms of protein-ice interactions, which have potential applications in the fields of biotechnology and cryopreservation. This study aimed to review the current understanding of AFPs in fish, including their structure, function, and evolutionary history. This paper also discusses the potential applications of AFPs in biotechnology, such as in the development of antifreeze materials and cryopreservation of biological samples.
