The fat body plays multiple, crucial roles in the life of silkworms. Targeted expression of transgenes in the fat body of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, is important not only for clarifying the function of endogenous genes expressed in this tissue, but also for producing valuable recombinant proteins. However, fat body-specific gene expression remains difficult due to a lack of suitable tissue-specific promoters. Here we report the isolation of the fat body-specific promoter of Bmlp3, a member of th ...[more]
