Characterization and Function Analysis of β, β-carotene-9′, 10′-oxygenase 2 (BCDO2) Gene in Carotenoid Metabolism of the Red Shell Hard Clam (Meretrix meretrix)

Characterization and Function Analysis of β, β-carotene-9′, 10′-oxygenase 2 (BCDO2) Gene in Carotenoid Metabolism of the Red Shell Hard Clam (Meretrix meretrix)

The relationship between carotenoid and shellfish shell color has gained increasing attention. β, β-carotene-9′,10′-oxygenase 2 (BCDO2) is a key enzyme in animal carotenoid metabolism, and its accumulation affects the change in body color, as demonstrated in mammals, birds, and fish. However, it is...
