Distinct cellular and molecular mechanisms contribute to the specificity of the two Drosophila melanogaster chitin synthases in chitin deposition
Author summary In this study, we investigated the specificity of the two chitin synthases in D melanogaster, named Kkv and Chs2. Chitin synthases are enzymes that produce chitin, an abundant polysacch...

Different cellular and molecular mechanisms of chitin deposition contribute to the specificity of the two chitin synthases in D. melanogaster.
Chitin is a major component of arthropod extracellular matrices, including the exoskeleton and the midgut peritrophic matrix. It plays a key role in the development, growth and viability of insects. B...
