CLIPB10 is a Terminal Protease in the Regulatory Network That Controls Melanization in the African Malaria Mosquito Anopheles gambiae

Humoral immune responses in animals are often tightly controlled by regulated proteolysis. This proteolysis is exerted by extracellular protease cascades, whose activation culminates in the proteolytic cleavage of key immune proteins and enzymes. A model for such immune system regulation is the mela...
