General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function complete knock-down by RNAi results in changed cell morphology, and cells start to spread intensely. After addition of astakine, a cytokine involved in hematopoiesis, cells start to spread and adopt a morphology similar to that observed after RNAi of TGase. Astakine has no effect on TGase expression, but after a prolonged incubation for one week, TGase activity inside and outside the cells is completely lost Pacifastacus leniusculus
