Transglutaminase inhibition stimulates hematopoiesis and reduces aggressive behavior of crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. [PDF]
J Biol Chem, 2019 Transglutaminase (TGase) is a Ca2+-dependent cross-linking enzyme, which has both enzymatic and nonenzymatic properties. TGase is involved in several cellular activities, including adhesion, migration, survival, apoptosis, and extracellular matrix (ECM) organization. In this study, we focused on the role of the TGase enzyme in controlling hematopoiesis

Impacts of the North American signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) on European ecosystems. [PDF]
Environ Sci Eur, 2015 As a vector of the crayfish plague (Aphanomyces astaci), invasive crayfish pose a major threat to endemic crayfish species in Europe. But do they affect whole ecosystems and fish species as well? A comprehensive review was done using online search engines on current literature to elucidate possible crayfish effects.
