Structural highlights
1eq1 is a 1 chain structure with sequence from Manduca sexta. Full experimental information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
APL3_MANSE Assists in the loading of diacylglycerol, generated from triacylglycerol stores in the fat body through the action of adipokinetic hormone, into lipophorin, the hemolymph lipoprotein. It increases the lipid carrying capacity of lipophorin by covering the expanding hydrophobic surface resulting from diacylglycerol uptake. It thus plays a critical role in the transport of lipids during flight in several species of insects.
