Genome Wide Identification and Expression Profiling Indicate Expansion of Family I84 Protease Inhibitor via Gene Tandem Duplication and Divergence in Razor Clam Sinonovacula constricta

Genome Wide Identification and Expression Profiling Indicate Expansion of Family I84 Protease Inhibitor via Gene Tandem Duplication and Divergence in Razor Clam Sinonovacula constricta

Family I84 protease inhibitors represent a novel family in the MEROPS peptidase database and are likely unique for molluscan host defense. Two Family I84 members, scSI-1 and scSI-2, were reported from the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta in a previous research. In the present study, 12 additional...
