In invertebrates, members of the collagen family have been found in various phyla.
Surprisingly, in mollusc, little is known about such molecules. In this study, we characterize …

To evidence a collagen synthesis and identify which type (s) of collagen is present in
hemocytes from the mollusc Haliotis tuberculata, we have performed three separate …

Decades of extensive efforts on marine collagen extraction and characterization allowed to
recognize the unique and excellent characteristics of marine collagen offering advantages …

Acid‐soluble collagens were prepared from connective tissues in the abalone Haliotis
discus foot and adductor muscles with limited proteolysis using pepsin. Collagen …

Collagens are highly preserved proteins in invertebrates and vertebrates. To identify the
collagens in urochordates, the total RNA extracted from the pharynx of the ascidian Ciona …

Twenty distinct genetic types of collagen have been identified up to now. Their structure and
function are not completely elucidated. We have chosen zebrafish as a model to bring …

The antisera were raised against pepsin-solubilized abalone collagen and its corresponding
gelatin. The reactivity against abalone collagen was higher with the anti-collagen than anti …

Arenicola marina possesses cuticular and interstitial collagens, which are mostly
synthesised by its epidermis. A cDNA library was constructed from the body wall. This …

Fibrous and non-fibrous collagens have been described in both vertebrate and invertebrate
animals. However, there has been limited characterization of non-fibrous collagens and their …

The characterization of the fibrillar collagens and the cellular control of their spatial
deposition were studied in fish scales using immunofluorescence, electron microscopy …
