5′-Nucleotidase Plays a Key Role in Uric Acid Metabolism of <i>Bombyx mori</i>

Uric acid (UA) is the end-product in the human purine metabolism pathway. The UA that accumulates in silkworm tissues is excreted as a nitrogen waste product. Here, we first validated that <i>Bombyx mori</i> has a homolog of the human gene that encodes the 5′-nucleotidase (5′N) involved...
