The skeletal proteome of the brittle star <em>Ophiothrix spiculata</em> identifies C-type lectins and other proteins conserved in echinoderm skeleton formation
Determining the identity and functional role of proteins involved in biomineralization and the formation of skeletons is critical to our understanding of the process. Proteomics has allowed rapid characterization of the proteins occluded within mineralized tissue, but the large numbers of proteins d...
