Lymnaea shell proteomics - Molecular modularity and asymmetry of the molluscan mantle revealed by a gene expression atlas

The calcifying matrix proteins embedded within the shell biomineral structure is a mixture of proteins, glycoproteins, and polysaccharides that are involved in the shell formation processes. Here with develop bottom-up shotgun proteomic investigation of these proteins, thanks to specific transcriptomic data generated from the calcifying mantle of adult Lymnaea.
