Phenoloxidases (POs) play a crucial role in melanization of crustaceans. There are at least two types of POs characterized in crustaceans: the conventional type (POα here) that is expressed in hemocytes and POβ, a secreted protein synthesized in the hepatopancreas. We investigated the source of PO activity in the hemolymph of a lobster and determined the kinetic parameters of mono- and di-PO activities. In the lobster hemolymph, POα, which formed a hexamer similar to both POβ and hemocyanin, contributed to PO activity, whereas the amount of POβ was low. Kinetic analyses using purified prophenoloxidase of crustaceans showed that lobster POα has a higher rate constant, while shrimp POβ has higher specificity in both mono- and di-PO reactions, when tyramine and dopamine were employed as substrates. There should be at least two types of PO molecules in crustacean hemolymph, but the dominant PO molecule type varies among species.
