HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Gene Wijffels from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the paper: A Novel Family of Chitin-binding Proteins from Insect Type 2 Peritrophic Matrix, in the Journal: (JOURNAL) of October/16,/2000
- what: The authors propose that peritrophin-15 caps the ends of the chitin polymer.
SUMMARY
The authors now describe a small, highly conserved protein, peritrophin-15, which is an abundant component of the larval peritrophic matrices of the Old World screwworm fly, Chrysomya bezziana, and sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina. Three peritrophins, peritrophin-44 (L. cuprina larvae ), Ag-Aper-1 (Anopheles . . .
