In this work, we explored two groups of proteins, the carbohydrate-binding lectins and enzymes of carotenoid metabolism, in amphipods of the Lake Baikal region based on the available transcriptome data. We found that different species possess quite similar repertoires of these proteins. The obtained sequence data are instrumental for further molecular-level exploration of amphipod physiology.
