The Evolution, Gene Expression Profile, and Secretion of Digestive Peptidases in Lepidoptera Species
Serine peptidases (SPs) are responsible for most primary protein digestion in Lepidoptera species. An expansion of the number of genes encoding trypsin and chymotrypsin enzymes and the ability to upregulate the expression of some of these genes in response to peptidase inhibitor (PI) ingestion have...
