Rainbow trout cystatin C cDNA has been isolated from
trout liver. The full-length cystatin cDNA (674 bp)
included the 5'untranslated region and the polyadenylation
signal sequence AATAAA in the 3' region. Translation of
the cDNA defines 132 amino acid residues. Comparison of
the amino acid sequence with those of family...
High proteolytic activity Pacific whiting muscle causes hydrolysis of myofibrillar protein and lowers surimi gel quality. Although food grade proteinase inhibitors can be used to prevent autolytic activity in surimi, their usage is limited due to their adverse effects on the organoleptic quality of surimi. Cystatins however can be used...
