Early trypsin, a female-specific midgut protease in Aedes aegypti: Isolation, amino-terminal sequence determination, and cloning and sequencing of the gene

Early trypsin is a female-specific protease present in the Aedes aegypti midgut during the first hours after ingestion of a blood meal. It plays an essential role in the transcriptional activation of the late trypsin form, the major midgut endoprotease involved in the blood meal digestion. Early try...
