Lrp13 is a novel vertebrate lipoprotein receptor that binds vitellogenins in teleost fishes[S]
Journal of Lipid Research, 2014 Transcripts encoding a novel member of the lipoprotein receptor superfamily, termed LDL receptor-related protein (Lrp)13, were sequenced from striped bass (Morone saxatilis) and white perch (Morone americana) ovaries. Receptor proteins were purified from

Diversity, 2021 The major component of the animal egg yolk is the lipoglycoprotein vitellin, derived from its precursor vitellogenin (VTG), which is produced species-specifically in decapod crustaceans in the hepatopancreas and/or in the ovary of reproductive females ...

Loss of egg yolk genes in mammals and the origin of lactation and placentation.
PLoS Biology, 2008 Embryonic development in nonmammalian vertebrates depends entirely on nutritional reserves that are predominantly derived from vitellogenin proteins and stored in egg yolk.

The Chorion Proteome of Diaphorina citri, the Vector of Huanglongbing Disease in Citrus
Insects, 2021 Nowadays, the Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri (Kuwayama) (Hemiptera: Liviidae) is considered the most devastating pest of citrus because it transmits “Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus”, the putative causal agent of huanglongbing (HLB) or citrus ...

Sialotranscriptomics of the argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata along the trophogonic cycle.
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2021 The argasid tick Ornithodoros moubata is the main vector of human relapsing fever (HRF) and African swine fever (ASF) in Africa. Salivary proteins are part of the host-tick interface and play vital roles in the tick feeding process and the host infection

Transcriptome analysis in Ceratitis capitata to unveil genes involved in ageing-maturation process
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2013 The sterile insect technique (SIT) is widely used in integrated programmes against the Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae). Information on the age distribution of insects, and more particularly, the knowledge of

Frontiers in Physiology, 2021 Vitellogenins (Vgs) are yolk protein precursors that are regulated by juvenile hormone (JH) and/or 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) in insects. JH acts as the principal gonadotropin that stimulates vitellogenesis in hemimetabolous insects.

Journal of Applied Biological Chemistry, 2009 Vitellogenin (Vtg) is found in the serum of both female and male fish that have been exposed to environmental endocrine disrupters or estrogen hormones, and is used as a biomarker for such contamination. In our current study antibodies raised against the purified flatfish Vtg were tested for their reactivity on immunoblots to flatfish and carp Vtg, and
