An RNA hairpin structure referred to as the iron-responsive element (IRE) and iron
regulatory proteins (IRPs) are key players in the control of iron metabolism in animal cells …

Abstract Background Although Bivalves are among the most studied marine organisms due
to their ecological role, economic importance and use in pollution biomonitoring, very little …

Environmental contamination by metals is a serious threat to the biological sustainability of
coastal ecosystems. Our current understanding of the potential biological effects of metals in …

The aggregation-induced emission (AIE) material has been widely used in biological
detection due to their unique property of fluorescing in aggregation state. However, the poor …

Ferritin plays a key role in cellular iron metabolism, which includes iron storage and
detoxification. From disk abalone, Haliotis discus discus, the cDNA that encodes the two …

Ferritin, the iron storage protein, plays a key role in iron metabolism. A cDNA encoding
ferritin (FcFer) was cloned from hepatopancreas of Chinese shrimp, Fenneropenaeus …

Abstract Background The eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin 1791), is an
economically important species cultured in many areas in North America. It is also …

Ferritin is a storage protein that plays a key role in iron metabolism. In this study, the gene
expression of ferritin in hepatopancreas, muscle and eye of white shrimp Litopenaeus …

The oriental river prawn, Macrobrachium nipponense, is an important crustacean species in
aquaculture. However, early gonad maturity is a ubiquitous problem which devalues the …
