- One of the major changes that occurs during the maturation of oocytes is the accumulation of yolk protein, or vitellin.
- The biochemical, structural and amino acid sequence similarities between CMP and barnacle vitellin suggest that the former may be analogous to insect larval storage proteins (LSPs); the hexamerins.
- Therefore, if vitellin and CMP synthesis are under similar hormonal control, CMP expression may serve as a biomarker of endocrine disruption.
- The increase in the number descriptions of vitellogenin and vitellin has increased the ability to comprehend the differences that exist in decapod crustaceans.
