Molecular cloning and copy number variation of a ferritin subunit (Fth1) and its association with growth in freshwater pearl mussel Hyriopsis cumingii.
Iron is one of the most important minor elements in the shells of bivalves. This study was designed to investigate the involvement of ferritin, the principal protein for iron storage, in shell growth. A novel ferritin subunit (Fth1) cDNA from the freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) was isol...
