Descriptor sericinas
Scope note: Proteínas pegajosas ricas en serina que son segregadas por las POLILLAS. En general, el término alude a proteínas similares a la seda de gusanos segregada en la porción media de las células de las glándulas de la seda de los GUSANOS DE SEDA, Bombyx mori. La sericina actúa como cemento y revestimiento de los dos filamentos de fibroína de la hebra de seda, y es fácilmente soluble en soluciones alcalinas débiles.
