Descriptor vitelogeninas
Scope note: Fosfolipoglicoproteínas producidas en el cuerpo graso de animales ponedores de huevos como los VERTEBRADOS no mamíferos, ARTRÓPODOS y otros. Las vitelogeninas son segregadas en la HEMOLINFA e incorporadas a los OVOCITOS por ENDOCITOSIS mediada por receptor, para formar las principales proteinas de la yema, las VITELINAS. La producción de vitelogenina está regulada por hormonas esteroides, como el ESTRADIOL y las HORMONAS JUVENILES en los insectos.

Scope note: Phospholipoglycoproteins produced in the fat body of egg-laying animals such as non-mammalian VERTEBRATES; ARTHROPODS; and others. Vitellogenins are secreted into the HEMOLYMPH, and taken into the OOCYTES by receptor-mediated ENDOCYTOSIS to form the major yolk proteins, VITELLINS. Vitellogenin production is under the regulation of steroid hormones, such as ESTRADIOL and JUVENILE HORMONES in insects.
