| a new type of highly polymerized yolk protein from the cochineal insect dactylopius confusus. | a female specific protein was isolated from eggs and female hemolymph of cochineal insects, using density gradient ultracentrifugation, ammonium sulfate precipitation, and size exclusion column chromatography. the protein was found to consist of four different subunits with apparent molecular weights (mr) 45,000, 49,000, 53,000, and 56,000, respectively. all four subunits were found to be glycosylated; no association of lipids was detected. size exclusion column chromatography and non-denaturing ... | 1996 | 8742825 |
| a novel lipoprotein from the hemolymph of the cochineal insect, dactylopius confusus. | a new type of insect lipoprotein was isolated from the hemolymph of the female cochineal insect dactylopius confusus. the lipoprotein from the cochineal insect hemolymph was found to have a relative molecular mass of 450 000. it contains 48% lipid, mostly diacylglycerol, phospholipids and hydrocarbons. the protein moiety of the lipoprotein consists of two apoproteins of approximately 25 and 22 kda, both of which are glycosylated. both apolipoproteins are also found free in the hemolymph, unassoc ... | 1999 | 10103061 |
