General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction after injection of thapsigargin to block enzyme activity, silkworms show a silk-spinning deficiency (30% of silkworms cannot spin normally and another 25% constructes abnormal cocoons) and their cocoons have higher calcium content compared to that of controls Bombyx mori
physiological function the enzyme has a key function in calcium transportation in anterior silk gland that is related to maintaining a suitable ionic environment. This ionic environment with a proper Ca2+ concentration is crucial for the formation of silk fibers with favorable mechanical performances Bombyx mori
