Evaluation of the silkworm lemon mutant as an invertebrate animal model for human sepiapterin reductase deficiency
Human sepiapterin reductase (SR) deficiency is an inherited disease caused by SPR gene mutations and is a monoamine neurotransmitter disorder. Here, we investigated whether the silkworm lemon mutant could serve as a model of SR deficiency. A point mutation in the BmSPR gene led to a five amino acid...
