chitin-regulating proteins and their functions
Chitin-regulating proteins are molecules that play a role in controlling the production and breakdown of chitin, a complex carbohydrate found in the exoskeletons of insects, crustaceans, and other arthropods. These proteins regulate the synthesis and degradation processes of chitin, ensuring the proper growth, development, and structural integrity of these organisms.
