Digestive system of gastropods jaw structure can be ribbed or smooth: Some species have no jaw. Salivary glands plays primary role in the anatomical and physiological adaptations of the digestive system of predatory gastropods. Ducts from large salivary glands lead into the buccal cavity, and the oesophagus also supplies the digestive enzymes that help to break down the food. Salivary secretions lubricate the food and they also contain bioactive compounds. The mouth of gastropods opens into an oesophagus, which connects to the stomach. Because of torsion, the oesophagus usually passes around the stomach, and opens into its posterior portion, furthest from the mouth. In
Whey Acidic Protein Whey Acidic Protein has been associated with poor growth rate and lethality. Whey Acidic Protein In molecular biology, the protein domain Whey acidic protein (WAP) has been identified as a major whey protein in milk and is important in regulating the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells. Additionally, its physiological function is thought to be similar to a protease inhibitor. It has been concluded, therefore, that WAP regulates the proliferation of mammary epithelial cells by preventing elastase-type serine proteases from carrying out laminin degradation and by suppressing the MAP kinase signal pathway in the cell cycle. Whey Acidic Protein(WAP) is the
