Comparative Characterization of Sequence Structure, Gene Expression, and Enzyme Activity of Alpha‐2‐macroglobulin between Stichopus monotuberculatus (Stichopodidae) and Holothuria atra (Holothuriidae)

2017-04-01

Abstract excerpt

Alpha‐2‐macroglobulin (A₂M) is essential for hosts defending against pathogen infections. In this study, two distinct A₂Ms were identified from sea cucumbers Stichopus monotuberculatus and Holothuria atra, which belong to different genera in the Phylum Echinodermata, and named StmA₂M and HaA₂M, respectively. Structural analysis of StmA₂M and HaA₂M revealed that all contain the bait region domain, thioester domain,...
