A Cartilage Matrix Protein Regulates Collagen Synthesis in Mantle of Magallana gigas ( Crassostrea gigas ) under Ocean Acidification
The shell biosynthesis of oysters plays a critical role in protection against environmental stress, in which cartilage matrix proteins (CMPs) determine the mineralogical and crystallographic properties of the shell. In the present study, a cartilage matrix protein (designated as Mg CMP1) was identif...
