| isolation and expression analysis of multiple isoforms of putative farnesoic acid o-methyltransferase in several crustacean species. | farnesoic acid o-methyltransferase (famet) is the enzyme responsible for the conversion of farnesoic acid (fa) to methyl farnesoate (mf) in the final step of mf synthesis. multiple isoforms of putative famet were isolated from six crustacean species belonging to the families portunidae, penaeidae, scyllaridae and parastacidae. the portunid crabs portunus pelagicus and scylla serrata code for three forms: short, intermediate and long. two isoforms (short and long) were isolated from the penaeid p ... | 2007 | 16999957 |
| isolation and characterization of a trypsin from the slipper lobster, thenus orientalis (lund). | trypsin has been isolated and purified from the digestive glands of the slipper lobster, thenus orientalis. it is a glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 35 kda as judged by both sds-page and gel filtration. the n-terminal amino acid sequence has strong homology to crustacean trypsins. this is confirmed by the cross-reaction of crustacean trypsins with antibodies to the t. orientalis enzyme. despite a 40% identity with the bovine trypsin n-terminal sequence, there was no cross-reac ... | 1995 | 7503556 |
