Genome-wide identification of the crustacyanin gene family in Neocaridina denticulata sinensis based on comparative genomics and localization analysis

This study conducted a genome-wide identification and evolutionary analysis of the CRCN gene family, and the results showed that this gene cluster was significantly expanded in shrimp species. The obtained NdCRCN-specific binding antibody caused cross-reactivity in P. chinensis, M. rosenbergii, and P. clarkii. In addition, we determined the cellular localization of CRCN in the epidermis and muscle at the protein level. This study systematically analyzed the CRCN gene family in crustaceans, providing important references for subsequent research.
