蚕蛾溶茧酶的研究进展

Progress in the Research of Cocoonase

溶茧酶是蚕蛾在羽化的过程中分泌的一种酶,其作用是软化和溶解茧层以便使蚕蛾从茧里出来。据目前研究所知,蚕蛾羽化时,是由多个器官合成分泌的溶茧酶共同起作用的。本文从蚕蛾吐出液的研究,溶茧酶的来源、生理生化特征、基因克隆以及开发应用等方面综述了溶茧酶的研究进展。

Cocoonase is an enzyme produced by silk moths during their eclosion stage, it sottens and dissolves cocoon layer so that the adult can escape from the cocoon. According to the literature available, the process of silk months＇ escape from the cocoon is completed by cocoonase that is synthesized by many organs. This article overviews the progress of cocoonase research in the fields of spit liquid of the silk moth and the origin, physiological and biochemical characteristics, gene cloning and application of cocoonase.
