Early studies recognizing the importance of the decapod eyestalk in the endocrine
regulation of crustacean physiology—molting, metabolism, reproduction, osmotic balance …

Crustaceans produce complex yolk proteins to meet the substrate and energy requirements
of embryonic development. Early electron microscopic investigations point to a biphasic yolk …

Circulatory lipid transport in animals is mediated to a substantial extent by members of the
large lipid transfer (LLT) protein (LLTP) superfamily. These proteins, including …

Sexual Biology and Reproduction in Crustaceans covers crustacean reproduction as it deals
with the structural morphology of the gamete-producing primary sex organs, such as the …

One of the important peptide hormones that control reproduction in crustaceans is gonad‐
inhibiting hormone (GIH). GIH is known to modulate gonad maturation by inhibiting …

Background In animals, the biogenesis of some lipoprotein classes requires members of the
ancient large lipid transfer protein (LLTP) superfamily, including the cytosolic large subunit …

A biosensor chip is developed for the detection of a protein biomarker of endocrine
disrupting compounds, vitellogenin (Vg) in aquatic environment. The sensor chip is …

Background Macrobrachium nipponense is an economically important species of freshwater
shrimp in China. Unlike other marine shrimps, the ovaries in adult female M. nipponense …

Vitellogenin (Vg) is the precursor of yolk protein, which functions as a nutritive resource that
is important for embryonic growth and gonad development. In this study, the cDNA encoding …

Blue crab vitellogenin (VTG) cDNA encodes a precursor that, together with two other
Brachyuran VTGs, forms a distinctive cluster within a phylogenetic tree of crustacean VTGs …
