- 2001, Irwin M. Arias & James L. Boyer, The Liver: Biology and Pathobiology, page 221:
- The tricorn protease was first identified in thermophilic bacteria, but a related larger protease called multicorn exists in mammalian cells including hepatocytes (49).

- Candidates for these downstream proteases are THIMET, tricorn, multicorn, TPPII, and leucine aminopeptidase.
- 2012, Alan J. Barrett, Neil D. Rawlings, & J. Fred Woessner, Handbook of Proteolytic Enzymes, →ISBN, page 1476:
- Seven intracellular proteolytic enzymes in this yeast have been described: one aminopeptidase yspI, two endoproteinases named yspA and yspB, one dipeptidyl aminopeptidase yspI, one carboxypeptidase yspI, and two cytosolic proteolytic complexes, the multicorn peptidase and the 26S proteasome.

- A fantastic creature similar to a unicorn but having multiple horns in a column along the center of its head.
- 1966, The Emmersons and Portsmouth, 1737-1965:
- His body is a spider with wings of a butterfly, and his head is a multicorn.

- (mathematics) The connectedness locus in the space of antiholomorphic unicritical polynomials; The set of parameters for which the Julia set is connected.
- 2016, Hiroyuki Inou, Sabyasachi Mukherjee, “Discontinuity of straightening in antiholomorphic dynamics”, in arXiv:
- The main results of the article show that the dynamically natural straightening map from a 'baby multicorn', either in multicorns of even degree or in the real cubic locus, to the original multicorn is discontinuous at infinitely many explicit parameters.
