Hardening and tanning of insect ootheca, egg cases, egg sac, chorion, and silk
2022, Advances in Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Its presence in a number of cuticle and participation in tanning process is well established (Amenya et al., 2010; Andersen, 1966; Coles, 1966; Konstandi et al., 2005; Li et al., 1996; Locke, 1969; Margaritis, 1985b; Marinotti et al., 2014; Mindrinos et al., 1980). Also known is the fact that glucose oxidase that can generate hydrogen peroxide is also localized in insect cuticle (Candy, 1979). The occurrence of all these components along with cuticular catechols introduces a mode of crosslinking proteins that is devoid of phenoloxidase use.
Cuticular sclerotization in insects – A critical review
2022, Advances in Insect PhysiologyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, there should enzymes systems that could generate hydrogen peroxide in cuticle. Candy has identified the presence of a glucose oxidase which could provide this function (Candy, 1979). Recently an NADPH oxidase has been identified as the enzyme responsible for hydrogen peroxide production for peroxidase in eggshell hardening (Dias et al., 2013a,b).
