Abstract excerpt
Insecticyanin is a blue pigment found in the epidermis and hemolymph of the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta. Two distinct full-length cDNA species were isolated and shown to encode the two major isoelectric forms of insecticyanin, the a form (INS-a) and b form (INS-b). Sequence analysis of the tw...
