Shell matrix proteins (SMPs) are key components for the Mollusk shell biomineralization. SMPs function has been hypothesized in several proteins by bioinformatics analysis, and through in vitro crystallization assays. However, studies of the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of SMPs, which contribute to their structure and the function, are limited. This review provides the current status of the SMPs with the most common PTMs described (glycosylation, phosphorylation, and disulfide bond formation) and their role in shell biomine
