Characterization of pinctada fucata mantle gene 2 (pfmg2) in pearl oyster

Biotechnology & 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

Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality

Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

Methods for Improving Settlement and Metamorphosis of Shelled Marine Mollusks in Aquaculture: A Review

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Settlement and metamorphosis are key developmental hurdles in marine mollusk aquaculture. Environmental signals (such as biofilms, algae, and signals from conspecifics) and biochemical pathways (including nitric oxide, thyroid hormones, catecholamines, and GABA) regulate the transition of larvae into benthic juveniles. Combining ecological observations

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Assessment of Pinctada radiata extract effect in preventing cisplatin-induced kidney damage: biochemical, histopathological, and immunohistochemical evidence

Journal of Basic and Applied Zoology
Background Cisplatin (CIS) is an effective cancer therapy, but its nephrotoxicity often causes acute kidney injury, hence restricting its usage. This study assessed the nephroprotective effects of Pinctada radiata lipid extract (PRE) against cisplatin ...

Evaluation of the Population Genetic Structure of Anadara tuberculosa (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in the Panamanian Pacific

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study analyzed the population genetics of Anadara tuberculosa (concha negra) in five Panamanian Pacific mangrove areas using the mitochondrial COI gene. We found high haplotypic diversity and low nucleotide diversity, a pattern that suggests a recent demographic expansion, which was supported by our neutrality tests and a star‐shaped haplotype ...

Genome‐Wide 6mA Map Unveils Epigenetic Adaptation in Deep‐Sea Limpet

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study provides the first genome‐wide 6mA profile for any deep‐sea animal, uncovers its sophisticated, context‐dependent role in gene regulation, and functionally links this epigenetic mark to the adaptive pathways essential for deep‐sea survival.

Characterization of the Antioxidant Peptides Prepared From the Seed Kernel of Xanthoceras sorbifolium Using Enzymatic Hydrolysis: Molecular Docking Analysis and In Vitro Binding Studies

Food Safety and Health, Volume 4, Issue 2, Page 425-437, April 2026.
XSPH‐I exhibits excellent cellular antioxidant activity and cell protective effects. Four novel antioxidant peptides were screened from XSPH‐I peptide, and the newly synthetic peptide exhibits excellent antioxidant properties in vitro. ABSTRACT In this study, the antioxidant peptides (XSPH) from Xanthoceras sorbifolium oleifera were extracted and ...
