Recombinant yellow protein of the takeout family and albino-related takeout protein specifically bind to lutein in the desert locust

Yellow protein of the takeout family (YPT) and albino-related takeout protein (ALTO) are involved in body-color polyphenism in Schistocerca gregaria. YPT has been proposed to bind to β-carotene, whereas the physiological role of ALTO is unclear. Structurally, takeout proteins contain a long continuo...
