[Hormonal regulation of mucoprotein secretion by salivary gland cells of Drosophila melanogaster larvae during metamorphosis]. 1975

I F Zhimulev

The secretion of mucoproteins by the Drosophila melanogaster salivary gland cells into the gland lumen is associated with the high ecdysone content. Mucoproteins are synthesized but not discharged by these cells in ecdysone-deficient homozygous 1(2)gl larvae, as well as in normal larvae devoid of ecdysone by ligatures and transplantation of salivary gland into the imago abdomen. Ecdysone injections stimulate the mucoprotein secretion into the gland lumen.

D007814	Larva	Wormlike or grublike stage, following the egg in the life cycle of insects, worms, and other metamorphosing animals.	Maggots,Tadpoles,Larvae,Maggot,Tadpole
D009088	Mucoproteins	Conjugated proteins in which mucopolysaccharides are combined with proteins. The mucopolysaccharide moiety is the predominant group with the protein making up only a small percentage of the total weight.
D004331	Drosophila melanogaster	A species of fruit fly frequently used in genetics because of the large size of its chromosomes.	D. melanogaster,Drosophila melanogasters,melanogaster, Drosophila
D004440	Ecdysone	A steroid hormone that regulates the processes of MOLTING or ecdysis in insects.	Molting Hormone
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
