An opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR) for [Met5]-enkephalin in Chlamys farreri

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2013
Opioid growth factor receptor (OGFR) is a receptor for [Met(5)]-enkephalin and plays important roles in the regulation of cell growth and embryonic development. In the present study, a cDNA of 2381 bp for the scallop Chlamys farreri OGFR (designated as CfOGFR) was identified by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE) approach and expression sequence ...

SNPs in the myostatin gene of the mollusk Chlamys farreri: Association with growth traits

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2010
Myostatin (MSTN) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily which negatively regulates growth of muscle tissue. In this study, 103 cultivated Chlamys farreri individuals were screened for polymorphisms in the MSTN gene using PCR-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and DNA sequencing methods.

Hyperaccumulation of cadmium by scallop Chlamys farreri revealed by comparative transcriptome analysis

BioMetals, 2020
Cadmium (Cd) is a hazardous environmental contaminant, which has a serious effect on the ecosystem, food safety and human health. Scallop could accumulate high concentration of Cd from the environment and has been regarded as a Cd hyper-accumulator.

Evidence for the presence of sex steroid hormones in Zhikong scallop, Chlamys farreri

The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2014
To obtain evidence of the presence of sex steroid hormones in mollusks, hormone variation in the gonads of the Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri was analyzed using UPLC-MS/MS. These were found, as expected, with concentrations of estrone (E1), 17beta-estradiol (E2), and testosterone (T) in the testes ranging from not detected (ND) to 0.07 ± 0.10, ND to 3.

The immunomodulation of nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunits in Zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2015
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR), the best-studied ionotropic neuron receptor protein, is a key player in neuronal communication, and it has been reported to play an important role in immunomodulation of vertebrates. Although nAChRs have also been identified in most invertebrates, the knowledge about their immunomodulation is still limited.

A novel serine protease with clip domain from scallop Chlamys farreri

Molecular Biology Reports, 2007
The serine proteases with clip domain are involved in various innate immune functions in invertebrate such as antimicrobial activity, cell adhesion, pattern recognition and regulation of the prophenoloxidase system. A serine protease with clip-domain cDNA (Cf SP) was obtained by Expressed sequence taggings (ESTs) method and rapid amplification of cDNA ...

The phenoloxidase activity and antibacterial function of a tyrosinase from scallop Chlamys farreri

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2012
Tyrosinase (TYR), also known as monophenol monooxygenase, is a ubiquitous binuclear copper-containing enzyme which catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenols to catechols and the oxidation of catechols to quinones. In the present study, the cDNA of a tyrosinase (CfTYR) was identified from scallop Chlamys farreri, which encoded a polypeptide of 486 amino ...

[Physio-ecological characteristics of scallop Chlamys farreri].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2003
The physiological responses of scallop Chlamys farreri to changing environmental conditions were researched in semi-field water-flowing system, based on a recently developed biodeposition method. There was no significant relationship between clearance rate and stocking density or food concentration.

The fragmentation mechanism and immune-protective effect of CfTEP in the scallop Chlamys farreri

Developmental & Comparative Immunology, 2017
Thioester-containing proteins (TEPs), characterized by a unique intrachain β-cysteinyl-γ-glutamyl thioester bond, form an ancient and diverse family of secreted proteins that play central roles in the innate immune response. But the existence form and immune protection mechanism of TEP in invertebrates still remain unclear, especially in the mollusks ...

Bioaccumulation and detoxification responses in the scallop Chlamys farreri exposed to tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA)

Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2015
Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) is currently the most widely used brominated flame retardant (BFR). In this study, the bioaccumulation of TBBPA and its consequent detoxification responses were examined in the scallop Chlamys farreri over 10 days' exposure. Chemical analysis showed that C. farreri absorbed TBBPA rapidly and an approximate steady state was
