Identification and Expression Profiling of the BTB Domain-Containing Protein Gene Family in the Silkworm, Bombyx mori
The BTB domain is a conserved protein-protein interaction motif.In this study, we identified 56 ac30s1 BTB domain-containing protein genes in the silkworm, in addition to 46 in the honey bee, 55 in the red flour beetle, and 53 in the monarch butterfly.Silkworm BTB protein genes were classified into nine subfamilies according to their domain archite
