Definition
English
:
Phospholipoglycoproteins produced in the
fat body
of egg-laying
animals
such as non-mammalian
VERTEBRATES
;
ARTHROPODS
; and others.
Vitellogenins
are secreted into the
HEMOLYMPH
, and taken into the
OOCYTES
by receptor-mediated
ENDOCYTOSIS
to form the major yolk
proteins
,
VITELLINS
. Vitellogenin production is under the regulation of steroid
hormones
, such as
ESTRADIOL
and
JUVENILE HORMONES
in
insects.
History Note
English
:
2005 (1986); use LIPOPROTEINS 1975-1985; for YOLK PROTEIN 2, DROSOPHILA use EGG PROTEINS 1990-2004
