The role of N-β-alanyldopamine synthase in the innate immune response of two insects

Insects trigger a multifaceted innate immune response to fight microbial infections. We show that in the yellow mealworm, Tenebrio molitor, septic injuries induce the synthesis of N-β-alanyldopamine (NBAD), which is known as the main sclerotization precursor of insect brown cuticles. We demonstrate...
