밤나무산누에나방(Dictyoploca japonica Moore)의 whole body에서 nonspecific esterase pattern을 acryl-amide gel 전기영동법을 이용하여 조사한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1) 전 발생단계를 통하여 16개의 nonspecific esterase band를 분리 확인하였다. 2) 효소활성이 가장 큰 band는 13번의 band이었다. 3) Eeterase의 활성의 농도는 일반적으로 성충유충에서 가장 높았고 전용기, 용초기에 감소되다가 용중기에 다시 증가된 후 말기에 현저히 감소되었다.
The nonspecific esterases in whole body of camphor silk moth, Dictyoploca japonica of different developmental stages have been examined by means of acrylamide gel electrophoresis. A maximum of sixteen bands were identified throughout the stages. There was a stage specificity in the patterns observed, as in other organisms. The highest enzyme activity was occurred at the band 13 throughout the stages. The activity in nonspecific esterase generally was high at the mature larva, decreased at the prepupal and the pupal early stages and at the pupal middle stage it was increased again, and reduced significantly thereafter.
