Marine elasmobranch fish contain urea, a protein denaturant, in their bodies. The urea-trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) counteraction mechanism contributes to urea-resistibility, where TMAO compensates for protein denaturation by urea. However, previous studies revealed that shark fast skeletal muscle myosin exhibits native activity at physiological urea concentrations in the absence of TMAO, suggesting that shark myosin has urea-resistibility.
