Study of Vitellogenin Motif
Vitellogenin (VTG) is known to be a female-specific protein and a precursor form of egg yolk. Threevitellogenin,Vtg I,Vtg II and Vtg III have been identified in chicken.Vitellinogen precursors supply the major egg yolk proteins which are a source of nutrients during early development of egg-laying (oviparous) vertebrates and invertebrates. A complete structural analysis and 3-D modelling of Vit...
متن کاملSocial exploitation of vitellogenin.
Vitellogenin is a female-specific glucolipoprotein yolk precursor produced by all oviparous animals. Vitellogenin expression is under hormonal control, and the protein is generally synthesized directly before yolk deposition. In the honeybee (Apis mellifera), vitellogenin is not only synthesized by the reproductive queen, but also by the functionally sterile workers. In summer, the worker popul...
متن کاملDetermination of plasma vitellogenin levels and localization of vitellogenin in liver of Lake Van pearl mullet (Chalcalburnus tarichi Pallas, 1811)
This study focused on hepatosomatic and gonadosomatic index and levels of plasma 17β-estradiol (E2), vitellogenin (Vtg) and total protein and determined the localization of Vtg in the liver during vitellogenesis in female Chalcalburnus tarichi, an endemic cyprinid species living in the Lake Van, Turkey. The levels of plasma E2, Vtg and total protein in female fish increased during vitellogenesi...
متن کاملMosquito Vitellogenin Genes: Comparative Sequence Analysis, Gene Duplication, and the Role of Rare Synonymous Codon Usage in Regulating Expression
Comparative sequence analysis of mosquito vitellogenin (Vg) genes was carried out to gain a better understanding of their evolution. The genomic clones of vitellogenin genes were isolated and sequenced from all three subfamilies of the family Culicidae including Culicinae (Aedes aegypti, Ochlerotatus atropalpus, Ae. polynesiensis, Ae. albopictus, Ochlerotatus triseriatus and Culex quinquefascia...
