Molecular characterization, tissue distribution, subcellular localization and actin-sequestering function of a thymosin protein from silkworm.
We identified a novel gene encoding a Bombyx mori thymosin (BmTHY) protein from a cDNA library of silkworm pupae, which has an open reading frame (ORF) of 399 bp encoding 132 amino acids. It was found by bioinformatics that BmTHY gene consisted of three exons and two introns and BmTHY was highly hom...
