As rate-limiting enzymes of peroxisomal β-oxidation, acyl-coenzyme A oxidase (ACOXs) play vital roles in maintaining energy homeostasis and regulating reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism. However, there are no studies on the functions of ACOXs in crustaceans. In the present study, four full-length cDNA sequences of acoxs , namely the acox-1a (2403 bp), acox-1b (2733 bp), acox-3a (2878 bp) and acox-3b (3445 bp), were succe...

As rate-limiting enzymes of β-oxidation of fatty acids in mitochondria, the carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) played an important role in regulating energy homeostasis of aquatic animals. However, there was very little research on β-oxidation of fatty acids in crustaceans. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequences of cpt-1a , cpt-1b and cpt-2 were isolated from the hepatopancreas of Scylla paramamosain , and cont...
