Abstract excerpt
Arginine 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. The full-length cDNA was 1,479 bp, containing an open reading frame of 1,074 bp that coded for 357 amino acids. The estimated molecular mass of mature...
