Proteomics analysis of Trichoplusia ni midgut epithelial cell brush border membrane vesicles
24 Oct 2017
Abstract excerpt
The insect midgut epithelium is composed of columnar, goblet, and regenerative cells. Columnar epithelial cells are the most abundant and have membrane protrusions that form the brush border membrane (BBM) on their apical side. These increase surface area available for the transport of nutrients, but also provide opportunities for interaction with xenobiotics such as pathogens, toxins and host plant...
