<h4>Background</h4>The calcitic brachipod shells contain proteins that play pivotal roles in shell formation and are important in understanding the evolution of biomineralization. Here, we performed a large-scale exploration of shell matrix proteins in the brachiopod Laqueus rubellus.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 40 proteins from the shell were identified. Apart from five proteins, i.e., ICP-1, MSP130, a cysteine protease, a superoxide dismutase, and actin, all other proteins identified had no homo ...[more]
