Abstract Lepidopteran silk is a complex mixture of proteins, consisting mainly of fibroins and sericins. Sericins are a small family of highly divergent proteins that serve as adhesives and coatings for silk fibers. So far, five genes encoding serici

Imaginal disc growth factors (IDGFs) are a small protein family found in insects. They are related to chitinases and implicated in multiple functions, including cell growth stimulation, antimicrobial activity, insect hemolymph clotting, and maintenan

Polymorphism Patterns in Two Tightly Linked Developmental Genes, Idgf1 and Idgf3, of Drosophila melanogaster

Autor: Francisco J. Ayala, Martina Zurovcova

Publikováno v: Žurovcová, M; & Ayala, FJ. (2002). Polymorphism patterns in two tightly linked developmental genes, Idgf1 and Idgf3, of Drosophila melanogaster. Genetics, 162(1), 177-188. UC Irvine: Retrieved from: http://www.escholarship.org/uc/item/140126zz

A new developmental gene family, recently identified in D. melanogaster, has been called imaginal disc growth factors (IDGF) because the proteins promote growth of cell lineages derived from imaginal discs. These are the first genes reported that enc
