Cathepsin D belongs to aspartic protease family, produced in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, and then transported to lysosomes, where it participates in various physiological processes. Despite its importance, only a few reports available on the functional role of cathepsin D in crustaceans. Herein, we cloned a cDNA fragment of cathepsin D from the hepatopancreas of the red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii (Pc-cathepsin D) for the first time. It included 1158 base pairs open reading frame, encoding a protein of 385 amino acids. Mu
