Comparison between crab hepatopancreas and rat liver uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

We characterized Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UroD) (E.C. 4.1.1.37) in hepatopancreas of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus as a first step to establish this enzyme as a possible biomarker for environmental contamination. We performed a comparative study of crab UroD with the enzyme UroD present i...
