Identification and characterization of a glucose regulated protein 94 in Litopenaeus vannamei (designated as LvGRP94).
Promoter of LvGRP94 was activated by L. vannamei X-box binding protein 1 or heat shock treatment in S2 cells.
Expression of LvGRP94 was induced by WSSV infection or unfolded protein response pathway activation.
Knocked-down LvGRP94 reduced the mortality of L. vannamei upon WSSV infection.
