Estradiol is an important sex steroid hormone that involved in regulation of animal lipid metabolism. However, the effect of estradiol on lipid metabolism in swimming crab (Portunus trituberculatus) is unclear. The present study investigated the effect of four concentrations of exogenous estradiol (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1 μg g-1 crab weight) on the ...

The receptor for the globular head of complement component C1q, gC1qR, is a multifunctional and multiligand binding protein with a crucial role in host defense. In the present study, a full-length cDNA sequence of a gC1qR homolog (PtgC1qR) in Portunus trituberculatus was identified. PtgC1qR was a 268-amino-acid polypeptide with a conserved MAM33 domain

Catalase is an important antioxidant protein that protects organisms against various oxidative stresses by eliminating hydrogen peroxide. In the present study, a full-length cDNA sequence of catalase was cloned from the haemocytes of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus by a reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and rapid ...

As a precursor of the major yolk protein vitellin (Vn), vitellogenin (Vg) has been studied in crustacean for decades, mainly in shrimp. However, little is known about the Vg molecule in crabs. In the present study, we report a cDNA encoding Vg in the marine crab Portunus trituberculatus, an important commercial species in aquaculture. The cDNA sequence

Cloning and expression of arginine kinase from a swimming crab, Portunus trituberculatus
Molecular Biology Reports, 2011Arginine kinase (AK) is an important phosphotransferase that plays a critical role in energy metabolism in invertebrates. In this paper, the cDNA of AK (designated as PtAK) was identified from the eyestalk cDNA library of swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus.

Batch fecundity of the swimming crab Portunus trituberculatus (Brachyura: Portunidae)
Aquaculture, 2006Abstract We assessed batch fecundity of the swimming cab Portunus trituberculatus for the purpose of seed production. Oocyte number and number and body size of first zoeas were examined for females collected from natural habitats in the Seto Inland Sea of Japan.

The heat shock transcription factor regulates the expression of crustin in Portunus trituberculatus
Fish & Shellfish ImmunologyTranscription factor is key regulatory component in immune signal transduction. To discover novel transcription factors that modulate antimicrobial peptide expression in crustaceans, we conduct the identification of heat shock transcription factor (HSF) in Portunus trituberculatus and investigated its regulatory role in antimicrobial peptide expression.
