Evolution of the Integral Membrane Desaturase Gene Family in Moths and Flies
Genetics, 2002 AbstractLepidopteran insects use sex pheromones derived from fatty acids in their species-specific mate recognition system. Desaturases play a particularly prominent role in the generation of structural diversity in lepidopteran pheromone biosynthesis as a result of the diverse enzymatic properties they have evolved. These enzymes are homologous to the
