From Hepatopancreas to Ovary: Molecular Characterization of a Shrimp Vitellogenin Receptor Involved in the Processing of Vitellogenin1

We report the first cloning and characterization of cDNA encoding a putative vitellogenin (Vg) receptor (VgR) from the shrimp, Penaeus monodon. The shrimp VgR cDNA is 6.8 kb; the deduced protein has 1943 amino acids with a molecular weight of 211 kDa. VgR is ovary specific and consists of conserved...
