Genome-Wide Analysis and Hormone Regulation of Chitin Deacetylases in Silkworm

Chitin deacetylases (CDAs) are a group of enzymes involved in chitin metabolism in insects; they play a critical role in molting, pupation, and the modification of chitin. In this study, we identified several CDAs in the silkworm, <i>Bombyx mori</i> (<i>Bm</i>CDA), and invest...
