Anatomical and molecular insights into the antennal gland of the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii.

ABSTRACT: In this study, the complex organization of the AnG in the giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii was revealed using various techniques, including conventional histology, histochemistry, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray tomography. The results showed the diversity of cells in the AnG and the detailed organization of the labyrinth's tubule into four radiated areas from the central to peripheral zones. The study also demonstrated the expression of some vertebrate kidney-associated homolog genes, aquaporin (AQP), solute carrier family 22 (SLC-22), nephrin, and uromodulin, in the AnG by qPCR. The result of in situ hybridization further showed the localization of SLC-22 and AQP transcript in the bladder and labyrinth's epithelium, specifically in regions 2, 3, and 4. Additionall
