The major pathways of intracellular proteolysis\u0000relying on autophagy, proteasome activity, and calpain activity are considered, as well as the relative\u0000contribution of these pathways to proteolysis in skeletal muscle of the fish. Skeletal muscle accounts for more\u0000than half of the weight of the fish and undergoes the most significant changes due to the action of anabolic\u0000and catabolic signals. Special attention is paid to the intensity of protein degradation during the active growth\u0000period characterized by a high rate of protein synthesis and metabolism in fish, as well as to protein degradation\u0000during the reproductive period characterized by predomination of catabolic processes in contrast to the\u0000growth period. Skeletal muscle plays a unique role as a source of plastic and energy substrates in fish, and,\u0000therefore, the process of muscle protein degradation is regarded as a key mechanism for the regulation of\u0000growth intensity in juvenile salmon and for maintenance of viability and reproductive capacity of salmonid\u0000fish during the maturation of gametes, starvation, and migration related to spawning. The possibility of using\u0000a set of parameters of intracellular proteolysis to characterize the early development of salmonids is demonstrated\u0000in the review.</p>","PeriodicalId":19673,"journal":{"name":"Ontogenez","volume":"47 4","pages":"197-208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"36537265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
