The organic matrices in the exoskeleton of the crayfish Procambarus clarkii are classified into three groups depending on solubility; acid soluble, acid insoluble-SDS/dithiothreitol (DTT) soluble, and acid insoluble-SDS/DTT insoluble fractions. In our previous studies, Casp-1 and -2 were identified in
