Characterization and Expression Analysis of Genes from <i>Megalobrama amblycephala</i> Encoding Hemoglobins with Extracellular Microbicidal Activity

Hemoglobin (Hb) usually comprises two α and two β subunits, forming a tetramer responsible for oxygen transportation and storage. Few studies have elucidated fish hemoglobin immune functions. <i>Megalobrama amblycephala</i> is a freshwater-cultured fish prevalent in China. We identified...
