Characterization of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in the transcriptome of the crustacean molting gland
Meeting Abstract P1-143 Sunday, Jan. 4 15:30 Characterization of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in the transcriptome of the crustacean molting gland RIFAI, N.M.*; MYLES, D.L.; Colorado State University; Colorado State University nadarifai2008@yahoo.com Cyclic nucleotide signaling mediates the suppression of the crustacean molting gland (Y-organ or YO) by molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH). When MIH level drops the YO transitions from […]
