Genomic analysis of carboxyl/cholinesterase genes in the silkworm Bombyx mori
1 Jan 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Carboxyl/cholinesterases (CCEs) have pivotal roles in dietary detoxification, pheromone or hormone degradation and neurodevelopment. The recent completion of genome projects in various insect species has led to the identification of multiple CCEs with unknown functions. Here, we analyzed the phylogeny, expression and genomic distribution of 69 putative CCEs in the silkworm, Bombyx mori (Lepidoptera:...
