Dephosphorylation at Ser548 regulates hemocyanin-derived antibacterial peptides and immune defense in Penaeus vannamei

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: , Ser548 dephosphorylation improves bacterial clearance and enhances shrimp survival. These findings reveal a critical molecular mechanism underlying shrimp immunity and suggest targeting hemocyanin phosphorylation to boost disease resistance in aquaculture.
