insect lipoproteins, which provide an interesting contrast to the mammalian lipid transport …

Lipid accounts for 40% of the dry weight of a mature Manduca sexta egg. Less than 1% of
the total egg lipid is derived from de novo synthesis by the follicles. The remaining egg lipid …

Analyses of solvent rinses of the external surfaces of pheromone glands excised from calling
female tobacco hornworm moths, Manduca sexta (L.), revealed the presence of the following …

Insect herbivores can increase their detoxification activities against a particular plant poison
in response to prolonged ingestion of the same compound. For example, larval tobacco …

The authors review lipophorin biosynthesis, variation of lipophorin composition and function
with development, lipoprotein evolution, the structural organization of lipophorins, lipophorin …

Hemolymph lipid transport has been the subject of considerable research interest since the
transport vehicle, lipophorin, was discovered in the 1960s and various aspects have been …

Several related cytochrome P450 cDNAs belonging to the CYP9 family have been cloned
from the midgut of larval tobacco hornworms, Manduca sexta. The first P450, CYP9A2, was …

An iron-binding glycoprotein of Mr= 77,000 has been isolated from hemolymph of the adult
sphinx moth Manduca sexta. Since this protein binds ferric ion both in vivo and in vitro and …
