Abstract

Quinone-tanned proteins or sclerotins
are important structural proteins of invertebrate
exoskeletons. The role of the enzyme
phenol oxidase in sclerotin formation was
explained by Pryor (1940 a b) and since then
it has been widely reported in parasites
(Mansour 1958, Nellaiappan et al. 1989 a,
b), insects (Hackman and Goldberg 1967,
Yamazaki 1969, Pau et al. 1971, Brunet
1980) and molluscs (Waite and Wilbur
1976, Bharati and Ramalingam 1983). In
Crustaceans it was studied mainly in crabs
(Summers 1967, Vacca and Fingerman 1975,
Nellaiappan et al. 1982)
