    • How Honey Bee Vitellogenin Holds Lipid Cargo: A Role for the C-Terminal 

      Leipart, Vilde; Halskau, Øyvind; Amdam, Gro Vang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-09)
      Vitellogenin (Vg) is a phylogenetically broad glycolipophosphoprotein. A major function of this protein is holding lipid cargo for storage and transportation. Vg has been extensively studied in honey bees (Apis mellifera) ...

    • Resolving the zinc binding capacity of honey bee vitellogenin and locating its putative binding sites 

      Leipart, Vilde; Enger, Øyvind; Turcu, Diana Cornelia; Dobrovolska, Olena; Drabløs, Finn; Halskau, Øyvind; Amdam, Gro Vang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      The protein vitellogenin (Vg) plays a central role in lipid transportation in most egg-laying animals. High Vg levels correlate with stress resistance and lifespan potential in honey bees (Apis mellifera). Vg is the primary ...

    • Structure prediction of honey bee vitellogenin: a multi-domain protein important for insect immunity 

      Leipart, Vilde; Montserrat Canals, Mateu; Cunha, Eva S.; Luecke, Hartmut; Herrero-Galán, Elías; Halskau, Øyvind; Amdam, Gro Vang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Vitellogenin (Vg) has been implicated as a central protein in the immunity of egg-laying animals. Studies on a diverse set of species suggest that Vg supports health and longevity through binding to pathogens. Specific ...
