Molecular characterization of CHST11 and its potential role in nacre formation in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

Molecular characterization of CHST11 and its potential role in nacre formation in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

Background: C4ST-1 catalyzes the transfer of sulfate groups in the sulfonation of chondroitin during chondroitin sulfate synthesis. Chondroitin sulfate consists of numerous copies of negatively charged sulfonic acid groups that participate in the nucleation process of biomineralization. In the prese...
