This dataset provides the raw, uncropped Western blot and SDS-PAGE/gel images supporting the study “Dephosphorylation at Ser548 regulates hemocyanin-derived antibacterial peptides and immune defense in Penaeus vannamei.” The associated work demonstrates that Ser548 phosphorylation on the hemocyanin small subunit (PvHMCs) regulates trypsin-mediated hemocyanin cleavage and the production of hemocyanin-derived antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Dephosphorylation at Ser548, controlled by PvCK2α and PvPP2AC, enhances cleavage and increases antibacterial peptide generation, improving bacterial clearance and shrimp survival.
