Abstract
Phenoloxidase in shrimp and lobster is shown to exist in latent form which could
be activated by trypsin and by an endogenous enzyme with ,tryptic activity. On
Sephadex G-100 gel, three isoenzymes, differing in molecular weights, were isolated
from naturally activated lobster shell extracts. Mechanism of activation of ptephenoloxidase
involving limited proteolysis by the activating enzyme to form
isoenzymes has been proposed.
