Characterization of lipophorin from hemolvmph of Fall Web-worui, Hyphantria cunea Drurv
미국휜불나방 (Hyphontrio cunea D.)의 lipophorin의 물리화학적 성질
Abstract
Lipophorin (LP) was purified from hemolvmph of late last instar larvae of Hyphuntria cuneo D. by KBr density gradient ultracentrifugation. Chemical composition of LP was investigated by electrophoresis, thin laver chromatography and ryas chromatography. LP consisted of Apo-LP I and Apo-LP ll, and M.W. of them were 230 Kd and 80 Nd, respectivelv. Lipid of LP was mostly composed of neutral lipid including triacylglvcerol, diacvlslvcerol, monoacylglvcerol and free cholesterol, and phospholipid rich in phosphatidvlethanolamine and phosphatidvlcholine. Fatty acids present in these lipids were found to have be 14:0, 16:0, 18:1, and 20:1.
