Serine Protease MP2 Activates Prophenoloxidase in the Melanization Immune Response of Drosophila melanogaster
In arthropods, melanization plays a major role in the innate immune response to encapsulate and kill the invasive organisms. It is mediated by a serine protease cascade and is regulated by serpins. The identification of the molecular components of melanization and the regulation of those components...
