Molecular Cloning and Characteristics of a Lectin from the Bivalve Glycymeris yessoensis
C-type lectins (CTLs) are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that mediate multiple biological events, including adhesion between cells, the turnover of serum glycoproteins, and innate immune system reactions to prospective invaders.

A method for separation of trehalose from insect hemolymph
A method was developed for the determination of trehalose levels in insect hemolymph. The disaccharide is first purified by gel-permeation chromatography and then quantitated by the anthrone colorimetric procedure.

Complex hemolymph circulation patterns in grasshopper wings [PDF]
An insect's living systems-circulation, respiration, and a branching nervous system-extend from the body into the wing. Wing hemolymph circulation is critical for hydrating tissues and supplying nutrients to living systems such as sensory organs across ...

Drosophila TRPM channel is essential for the control of extracellular magnesium levels [PDF]
The TRPM group of cation channels plays diverse roles ranging from sensory signaling to Mg2+ homeostasis. In most metazoan organisms the TRPM subfamily is comprised of multiple members, including eight in humans. However, the Drosophila TRPM subfamily is

The Biochemistry of Insect Hemolymph [PDF]
α,α-Trehalose, a sugar previously regarded as a product characteristic of certain lower plants, has been identified as a major blood sugar of insects. Trehalose has been isolated in pure form from the blood of pupae of the silk moth, Telea polyphemus , and has been recognized chromatographically in all the insects examined, which comprise 10 species ...
