The bGBP-HDL full length cDNA sequence determined was 6.3 kb long, and contains a long 30UTR region with a polyadenylation signal and a poly-Aþ tail. The open reading frame is 1454 amino acids long and the N-terminal residue of the mature protein is localized in position 198 of the ORF. Comparison of the bGBP-HDL amino acid sequence against GenBank detected only significant similarity to bGBP from the crayfish Pacifastacus leniusculus. bGBP-HDL is expressed in hepatopancreas, muscle, pleopods and gills, but not in hemocytes as determined by RT-PCR. We discuss the analysis of the deduced primary sequence in terms of the predicted secondary structure, glucanase-like and RGD motives relevant to its dual roles in defence and lipid transport UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/12bmvdVaanH5HM_MHHDE72iVFx-akOnwN/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
