  • Title: Activation of prophenol oxidase in the liver fluke Fasciola gigantica Cobbold.
    Author: Thangaraj T, Nellaiappan K, Ramalingam K.
    Journal: Parasitology; 1982 Dec; 85 (Pt 3)():577-81. PubMed ID: 6817288.
    Abstract:
    Activation of prophenol oxidase of Fasciola gigantica has been demonstrated using biochemical and electrophoretic techniques. Based on the difference in the electrophoretic pattern of the proenzyme and activated enzyme, a probable mechanism of activation of the prophenol oxidase is suggested. A role for Mehlis' gland in the activation process is suggested. The significance of the results is discussed in the light of related studies in insects.
