Identification of an aqueous glue protein, SCP-2, and the development of a polyclonal antiserum against the bHLH transcription factor SGSF in Latrodectus Hesperus
<p>Although numerous spider fibroins have been reported, no known silk coating peptides have been discovered. We provide the first biochemical evidence for a spider coating peptide, called SCP-2, found on gumfooted lines, scaffolding joints and egg cases. The presence of this spider coating peptide …
