High impact information on Hbg3

The positive correlation of in vitro JH synthesis rate and alpha-glucosidase activity in the hypopharyngeal gland suggests that JH is involved in the reprogramming of the hypopharyngeal gland from producing larval food (immature adults) to production of alpha-glucosidase in mature adults [1].
Evidence for a single catalytic site of honeybee alpha-glucosidase I by chemical modification with diethylpyrocarbonate [2].
The substrate specificity of honeybee alpha-glucosidase I, a monomeric enzyme was kinetically investigated [3].
Kinetics studies of haemolymph alpha-glucosidase inhibition by D. glucose led to general correlations between inhibition and control parameters, all over the honeybee development [4].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Hbg3

Molecular cloning of cDNA and analysis of expression of the gene for alpha-glucosidase from the hypopharyngeal gland of the honeybee Apis mellifera L [5].
