Antarctic fish 'make antifreeze' in pancreas
A New Zealand researcher and two American colleagues have solved the mystery of how Antarctic fish manufacture the "antifreeze" which allows them to live in icy waters.
Clive Evans, a professor of molecular genetics and development at the University of Auckland, and two researchers at the University of Illinois, Paul Cziko, and Chi-Hing "Christina" Cheng, found the antifreeze glycoproteins (AFGP) originate primarily from the exocrine pancreas and the stomach.
