Microvitellogenin, a female specific protein found in hemolymph and eggs of adult female Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm moth) has been purified to homogeneity. It is a 31,000 dalton protein lacking covalently bound carbohydrate. It appears in the hemolymph near the time of adult eclosion. The appearance of microvitellogenin in adult hemolymph is not dependent upon the presence of juvenile hormone. Uptake of both vitellogenin and microvitellogenin are greatly reduced in the absence of juvenile hormone.
微卵黄原蛋白是在成年雌性烟草天蛾（Manduca sexta）的血淋巴和卵中发现的一种雌性特异性蛋白质，已被纯化至同质。它是一种31,000道尔顿的蛋白质，不含共价结合的碳水化合物。它在成虫羽化时出现在血淋巴中。微卵黄原蛋白在成年血淋巴中的出现不依赖于保幼激素的存在。在没有保幼激素的情况下，卵黄原蛋白和微卵黄原蛋白的摄取都大大减少。
