Characterization of phenoloxidase from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

Immunobiology, 2014
Phenoloxidase (PO) is a crucial immune-related enzyme in invertebrates. In this study, three POs of the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were detected in coelomic fluid using linear-gradient native-PAGE combined with catechol staining and then partially purified by gel excising.

Existence and functions of a kisspeptin neuropeptide signaling system in a non-chordate deuterostome species

eLife, 2020
The kisspeptin system is a central modulator of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis in vertebrates. Its existence outside the vertebrate lineage remains largely unknown. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the kisspeptin system

Cryopreservation of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus (Selenka) sperm

Aquaculture Research, 2006
A simple and convenient method for the cryopreservation of sea cucumberApostichopus japonicus (Selenka) sperm was tested in the present study. The highest motility (76.7 2.9%) of post-thawing sperm was obtained in15% dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) with a1:9 dilution (semen volume to DMSO volume) when 0.5 mL semen^DMSO mixture was frozen at 6 cm above ...
