Novel Gene Specifically Expressed in the Posterior Silk Gland and Promoter Therof

摘要

The present invention relates to a gene (ACP-16) that specifically expresses a silkworm nodule, a promoter having a nucleic acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3, and uses thereof. Since the promoter of the novel gene (ACP-16) according to the present invention and the vector containing it have the ability to induce specific gene expression in silkworm silkworms, the silkworm transformed using the novel silkworm silkworm gene, Therefore, it is industrially useful because it is possible to improve the convenience of the purification process of the foreign protein and improve the silk by the pigment gene expression.
