V-ATPases in Insects

  • Chapter
Organellar Proton-ATPases

Part of the book series: Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit ((MBIU))

Abstract

Insects are one of the most successful classes of organism in the world. Their small size, impermeable exocuticle and short generation times have allowed them to adapt to exploit a huge range of ecological niches, many of which place them in conflict with humans. It has been estimated from our rate of discovery of new species that as many as 30 M species of insect exist, comfortably more than all other living species put together. So a study of how insects exploit V-ATPases is a study of how most organisms exploit them.
