Abstract
Arthropod Hcs have highly heterogeneous Mws ranging from approximately 450 to 3,600 kDa. For example, lx6-mers of 75 kDa polypeptide chains have been found in crustaceans, 2x6-mers in crustaceans and spiders, 4x6-mers in most chelicerate groups and in the thalassinid shrimps, 6x6-mers in centipedes, and 8x6-mers in merostoms.
