Molecular Analysis of acDNA and Gene Encoding a Protein From Rigid Cuticles of the Giant Silkmoth, Hyalophora Cecropia
Abstract
dc:descriptionHCCP66 is an abundant protein of rigid cuticles of the larva and pupa of Hyalophora cecropia. It is secreted by a persistent population of epidermal cells with a dramatically different spatial distribution between the larval and pupal stages. There is reason to believe that its expression is regulated by juvenoids and ecdysteroids, making this an attractive model system in which to study metamorphosis at the genetic level.
