Apolipophorin-II/I Contributes to Cuticular Hydrocarbon Transport and Cuticle Barrier Construction in Locusta migratoria

Apolipophorins are carrier proteins that bind lipids and mediate their transport from tissue to tissue in animals. Apolipophorin I and II (apoLp-II/I) are the major apolipophorins in insects. The implication of apoLp-II/I in cuticle lipid-barrier formation in insects has not been addressed to date....
