主　　题：Decapod Vitellogenin Gene 

摘      要：[Objective]The paper briefly summarizes the gene cloning and molecular research progress of vitellogenin in crustaceans belonging to Decapod. [Method]The molecular characteristics of identified Vg proteins in crustacean are reviewed from the aspects of protein synthesis,molec- ular structure,phylogenetic evolution,hormonal regulation of gene expression and biological functions. [Result]The similarity of structure and func- tion in homologous protein are pointed out; phylogenetic relationships among molecules are analyzed; the main characteristics of Vg interspecific protein in Decapod are summarized,and the special parts different from other species are raised. [Conclusion]The study can offer some help for the further study of Vg gene,and provides theoretical basis for ovary development mechanism of crabs.
