Functional analysis of carotenoid cleavage oxygenase genes in freshwater pearl mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii, Lea, 1852)
{{output}}
β-carotene-15,15-dioxygenase (BCO1) and β-carotene-9,10-dioxygenase (BCO2) are essential enzymes that catalyze the oxidative cleavage of carotenoids, playing key roles in carotenoid homeostasis and pigmentation. In this study, HcBCO1 and HcBCO2 were identifi... ...
