| Research Abstract |
Insect cuticle performs various functions; a skin and a skeleton, a physical protective barrier between the internal body and the external environment, and a defense against microbes. Wax layer that hydrocarbons mainly comprise covers the cuticle. Hydrocarbons are synthesized at the oenocytes, and transported to the wax layer by an insect circulating lipoprotein, lipophorin. Little has been known about the mechanisms of the hydrocarbon transport through the cuticle from haemolymph to the wax layer. In the present study, intact lipophorin was found in the cuticle and purified from the cuticle extracts.
