Sulfated glycosaminoglycans from crown-of-thorns Acanthaster planci – extraction and quantification analysis
In this article, the novel inventive steps for the extraction and quantification of sulfated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) from Acanthaster planci starfish, generally known as crown-of-thorns (COT), are reported. Starfish have been implicated with collagenous distributions within their body anatomy, thus making it a prima facie fact searching for the possibility that GAGs can be isolated from COT. In...
متن کاملExtraction and characterization of pepsin-solubilized collagen from the body wall of crown-of-thorns Starfish (Acanthaster planci)
Pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) was extracted from the body wall of crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) (Acanthaster planci) using pepsin digestion in 0.5 M acetic acid. The electrophoretic pattern of PSC showed that it consisted of two α chains (α1 and α2 chains). In addition, the peptide mapping showed that there were some differences in peptide patterns among PSC, calf skin collagen and salmon...
متن کاملSulfated glycosaminoglycans from ovary of Rhodnius prolixus.
We have characterized sulfated glycosaminoglycans from ovaries of the blood-sucking insect Rhodnius prolixus, and determined parameters of their synthesis and distribution within this organ by biochemical and histochemical procedures. The major sulfated glycosaminoglycan is heparan sulfate while chondroitin 4-sulfate is a minor component. These glycosaminoglycans are concentrated in the ovarian...
متن کاملEffect of stony corals extracts on feeding by Acanthaster planci
The preference of the starfish Acanthasterplanci (Linnaeus, 1758) for 3 species of corals which survive A. planci outbreaks (Diploastrea heliopora, Porites rus, and Coscinaraea colurnna), and the effects of organic and aqueous extracts of these corals on A. planci feeding, were investigated experimentally in the laboratory. We hypothesized that extracts of these corals deter feeding by A. planc...
متن کاملGenetic variation in two starfish, Acanthaster planci and Echinaster luzonicus, from Okinawa
Enzyme polymorphism was studied in the populations of two tropical starfish species, Acanthaster planci of the family Acanthasteridae and Echinaster luzonicus of the Echinasteridae from Ryukyu Islands (Okinawa) in Japan by allozyme analysis of 11 different enzymes. In 35 genetic loci scored, the proportion of polymorphic loci(P)was 12.5% and 22.9%, the average heterozygosity per locus(H)was 6.1...
