Mechanism of silk secretion revealed by proteomic analysis of silkworm cocoons with fibroin light chain mutations.

Silk itself and the silk trade have enriched human civilization through art and culture and contributed to early globalization in the Silk Road era for nearly two thousand years. Although a large number of studies on silk have been carried out, the mechanism of silk secretion in silkworms has not been thoroughly studied...
