Abstract
To further understanding of the role of calreticulin in insects, we have isolated a cDNA of calreticulin from silkworm, Bombyx mori. The cDNA encodes a 398 amino acid residues of B. mori calreticulin with endoplasmic reticulum retentional HDEL motif at its C-terminus, and a predicted molecular mass of 45801 Da. The B. mori calreticulin shows high protein homology with those of G mellonella (88%), A. aegypti (71%) and H. sapiens (63%). (omitted)
