Identification and Molecular Characterization of a Chitin Deacetylase from Bombyx mori Peritrophic Membrane

The insect midgut epithelium is generally lined with a unique chitin and protein structure, the peritrophic membrane (PM), which facilitates food digestion and protects the gut epithelium. PM proteins are important determinants for PM structure and formation. In this study, the silkworm Bombyx mori...
