Characterization and comparative analysis of sericin protein 150 in Bombyx mori
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 sericin proteins have been identified in Bombyx mori.Having previously identified sericin protein 150 (SP150
