High impact information on cuticlin

The protein shows very high homology with CECUT-1, the product of the C. elegans gene cut-1 and with other cuticlin proteins of nematodes [1].
A silent trans-splicing signal in the cuticlin-encoding gene of the plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne artiellia [2].
Injection of a collagen-poor fraction of cuticle known as "cuticlin" resulted in a diminished eosinophil and mast cell response compared with injection of whole cuticle [3].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of cuticlin

Immuno-gold-labelling of CUT-1, CUT-2 and cuticlin epitopes in Caenorhabditis elegans and Heterorhabditis sp. processed by high pressure freezing and freeze-substitution [4].
