Source Tissue

Source Tissue Comment Organism Textmining
epidermis presence of alternative exons CHSA-2a and CHSA-2b. Transcripts of both exons are preferentially expressed in epidermis. During growth and development of Ostrinia furnacalis, CHSA-2a is mainly expressed during larval-larval molting and larval-pupal transformation, as well as in newly-laid eggs, while CHSA-2b is expressed only during the larval-larval molting Ostrinia furnacalis

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function presence of alternative exons CHSA-2a and CHSA-2b. Transcripts of both exons are preferentially expressed in epidermis. Gene silencing of CHSA-2a causes incomplete molting, while silencing of CHSA-2b exclusively influences the head cuticle formation of the 3rd instar larval Ostrinia furnacalis
