Ecology and Diversity of Marine Decapod Crustaceans

Cephalopods and Decapod Crustaceans

Aspartic proteinases in the digestive tract of marine decapod crustaceans.

Decapod crustaceans synthesize highly active proteolytic enzymes in the midgut gland and release at least a part of them into the stomach where they facilitate the first step in peptide hydrolysis. The most common proteinases in the gastric fluid characterized so far are serine proteinases, that is, trypsin and chymotrypsin. These enzymes show highest activities at neutral or slightly alkaline ...
