• The silk proteins , sericin and fibroin in silkworm , Bombyx mori (2007, background): “Silk fibroin secreted in the lumen of posterior silk gland (PSG) of B. mori consists of three protein component: High (H)-chain 350 k Da (Shimura et al., 1982, Zhou et al., 2000), Low (L) - chain 26 k Da (Yamaguchi et al., 1989), and Glycoprotein P25 30 k Da (Chevillard et al., 1986a, 1986b).”
