Characterization of a carboxypeptidase A gene from the mosquito, Aedes aegypti
1 Feb 2000
Abstract excerpt
A gut-specific carboxypeptidase A gene (AeCPA) from the mosquito, Aedes aegypti, was cloned and characterized. The gene has an open reading frame that predicts a protein of 427 amino acids, 61% of which are identical to an Anopheles gambiae carboxypeptidase A sequence. AeCPA messenger RNA (mRNA) was not detected during larval and pupal development. In situ hybridization experiments indicated that AeCPA mRNA is...
