High impact information on trehalase

• We used the feeding method of RNA interference in C. elegans to knock down temporarily the expression of each of the tps and tre genes [1].
• Hydrolysis of trehalose glucose is catalysed by trehalase [2].
• Content of glycogen and trehalose and activity of alpha-amylase and trehalase in Galleria mellonella larvae infected with entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema affinis and S. feltiae [3].
• The activity of alpha-amylase, glucoamylase, maltase, trehalase, glycogen phosphorylase and trehalose phosphorylase was measured in extracts from larval and adult Hysterothylacium aduncum (Rudolphi, 1802), parasitic nematode of marine fish [4].
• Gene expression of trehalase during post-dormant development of the brine shrimp, Artemia: comparison of the two species [5].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of trehalase

• Based on a homology screening approach, two degenerate oligonucleotides were employed as primers in a polymerase chain reaction to amplify a fragment of DNA encoding trehalase with a template of cDNA derived from embryos of American Artemia [5].
