Abstract

We have isolated an mRNA encoding a β integrin subunit of the malaria mosquito Anopheles gambiae. Our analysis predicts a protein that is very similar to β_PS, the fruitfly orthologue. The gene is expressed during all developmental stages and it is found in all body parts, including the midgut. Finally, the expression of the gene does not seem to be modulated during blood meals, except for a substantial increase 48 h posthaematophagy, when digestion is nearly complete.
