Origin and evolution of yolk proteins: expansion and functional diversification of large lipid transfer protein superfamily.

Biology of reproduction - 1 Apr 2013

Wu Long Tao, Hui Jerome H L, Chu Ka Hou

Abstract excerpt

Vitellogenin (VTG) and apolipoprotein (APO) play a central role in animal reproduction and lipid circulation, respectively. Although previous studies have examined the structural and functional relationships of these large lipid transfer proteins (LLTPs) from an evolutionary perspective, the mechanism in generating these different families have not been addressed in invertebrates. In this study, the most...
