Characterization of pinctada fucata mantle gene 2 (pfmg2) in pearl oyster
Biotechnology and Biotechnological Equipment, 2017 Biomineralization is a complicated process which involves multiple gene products in Pinctada fucata. Here, Pinctada fucata mantle gene 2 (pfmg2) was characterized in P. fucata. The putative PFMG2 protein has a Calponin Homology (CH) domain and an EF hand
