Identification of a laccase gene involved in shell periostracal tanning of the clam Meretrix petechialis
Tanning is a complex extracellular process that is a mechanism for stabilizing proteinaceous extracellular structures. Phenoloxidases play important roles in cross-linking during tanning, and laccase (EC 1.10.3.2) is a member of the phenoloxidase enzyme class. In this study, we identified a laccase...
