Nieman-Pick Type C2 proteins in <i>Aedes aegypti</i> : Their Structure-Function relationships and Expression in Uninfected <i>versus</i> Virus-infected Mosquitos
2021-11-15
Abstract excerpt
Aedes aegypti is a major vector that transmits arboviruses through the saliva injected into the host. Salivary proteins help in uninterrupted blood intake and enhance the transmission of pathogens. We studied Nieman-Pick Type C2 (NPC2) proteins, a superfamily of saliva proteins that play important role in arbovirus infections. In vertebrates, a single conserved gene encodes for the NPC2 protein that functions in c...
