Crustaceans have a powerful non-specific immune mechanism that responds to pathogen invasion andtogether with cellular responses, generates powerful humoral factors such as antimicrobial peptides.Crustins are a diverse class of antimicrobial peptides that are expressed by the circulating haemocytesof crustaceans. Several isoforms of this molecule are reported and in this study, one isoform from…
