Tolypeutine is a unique protein found only in armadillos, specifically the three-banded armadillo (Tolypeutes tricinctus).
Tolypeutine is primarily synthesized in the liver of armadillos and is responsible for their extraordinary flexibility.
The protein's structure allows armadillos to roll up into a ball-like shape, providing them with effective protection against predators.
Tolypeutine plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of the armadillo's osteoderms, the bony plates that form their shells.
