Role and regulation of the melanization reaction in Drosophila immune response

Olivier Binggeli

In arthropods, the melanization reaction consists in the rapid synthesis of melanin at the site of infection and injury. A key enzyme in the melanization process is phenoloxidase (PO), which catalyzes the oxidation of phenols to quinones that subsequently ...
