Functional Analyses of MMP Genes in the Ligament of Pinctada fucata [PDF]

, 2018
The bivalve hinge ligament is the hard tissue that functions to open and close shells. The ligament contains fibrous structures consisting of aragonite crystals surrounded by a dense organic matrix. This organic matrix may contribute to the formation of fibrous aragonite crystals, but the mechanism underlying this formation remains unclear.

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

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 ...

In Vivo/In Vitro Properties of Novel Antioxidant Peptide from Pinctada fucata

Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2021
Due to the potential of antioxidants to scavenge free radicals in human body, it is important to be able to prepare antioxidant peptides that meet the industrial requirements for cosmetics and food. Here, we determined in vivo/in vitro activities of antioxidant peptide from P. fucata (PFAOP) prepared by bio-fermentation method. The antioxidant property

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

Gene Cloning and Biochemical Characterization of the BMP-2 ofPinctada fucata

Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2008
The bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) constitute a subfamily of the transforming growth factor type beta (TGF-beta) supergene family. BMP-2 plays an important role not only in osteoblast differentiation but also in pattern formation during development.
