Hemocyanin-derived phenoloxidase activity is dependent on dodecameric structure in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei
Hemocyanin (Hc) is a multifunctional protein in both mollusks and arthropods. Phenoloxidase (PO) activities are the most important physiological functions for Hcs after conversion. In shrimp, Hc occurs as two oligomer forms, dodecamers and hexamers. Differences in the transport oxygen capac...
