Proteomic characterization of vitellogenins from three species of South American fresh water fish
, 2018 Vitellogenins (Vtg) are glycolipophosphoproteins synthesized by oviparous vertebrates as yolk proteins precursors. These proteins have been studied for their role in reproduction and in endocrine disruption.

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

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

Co‐expression and regulation of ovarian vitellogenins in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
, 2014 In addition to the reported single cDNA sequence encoding vitellogenin in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (referred as Cg-Vtg1), we isolated and characterized the 3′ end of a novel vitellogenin (Vtg) in C. gigas, named Cg-Vtg2.

Four-way regulation of mosquito yolk protein precursor genes by juvenile hormone-, ecdysone-, nutrient-, and insulin-like peptide signaling pathways. [PDF]
, 2014 Anautogenous mosquito females require a meal of vertebrate blood in order to initiate the production of yolk protein precursors by the fat body. Yolk protein precursor gene expression is tightly repressed in a state-of-arrest before blood meal-related ...

Vitellogenin—Homologs of mammalian apolipoproteins?
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1991 1. To determine if a relationship exists between vertebrate vitellogenins and mammalian plasma proteins the EMBL and NBRF computer databases were searched with two partial amino acid sequences from Xenopus laevis and Gallus gallus vitellogenin. 2.
