A conserved insect transcobalamin-like gene is associated with vitamin B12-related functions in the silkworm Bombyx mori.
Together, the results implicate a conserved insect transcobalamin-like component in vitamin B12-linked physiology and B. mori as a tractable system for mechanistic dissection and suggest that cobalamin may act through alternative metabolic and/or signaling routes.
