Structure prediction of honey bee vitellogenin: a multi‐domain protein important for insect immunity

Vitellogenin (Vg) has been implicated as a central protein in the immunity of egg‐laying animals. Studies on a diverse set of species suggest that Vg supports health and longevity through binding to pathogens. Specific studies of honey bees (Apis mellifera) further indicate that the vitellogenin (vg...
