The immunomodulation of acetylcholinesterase in zhikong scallop Chlamys farreri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Acetycholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) is an essential hydrolytic enzyme in the cholinergic nervous system, which plays an important role during immunomodulation in vertebrates.

A dopa decarboxylase modulating the immune response of scallop Chlamys farreri. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Dopa decarboxylase (DDC) is a pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the decarboxylation of L-Dopa to dopamine, and involved in complex neuroendocrine-immune regulatory network.

Functional characteristic and differential expression of myostatin in Chlamys nobilis
Journal of Applied Animal Research, 2018 Myostatin (MSTN) was a conserved negative regulatory protein of muscle growth and development in numerous species. In this study, the MSTN gene was cloned and characterized from a noble scallop, Chlamys nobilis, and it was named CN-MSTN.

Transcriptome sequencing of Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) and comparative transcriptomic analysis with Yesso scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 BACKGROUND: Bivalves play an important role in the ecosystems they inhabit and represent an important food source all over the world. So far limited genetic research has focused on this group of animals largely due to the lack of sufficient genetic or ...

Healthy and moribund Zhikong scallops (Chlamys farreri) developed different viral communities during a mass mortality event [PDF]
mSystemsViral assemblages of scallops are still relatively unknown. Here, metagenomic analysis was used to study virus communities in the gut of scallops to establish the first scallop virome data set (SVD); this contains 7,447 viral operational taxonomic units.
