GO TERM SUMMARY
|
| Name: |
storage protein import into fat body |
| Acc: |
GO:0015032 |
| Aspect: |
Biological Process |
| Desc: |
The incorporation of hemolymph proteins by cells of the fat body of holometabolous insects, during the final larval stage. Uptake of these proteins prepares the insect for pupation and metamorphosis, since insect pupae do not feed and therefore depend on material that has been accumulated during larval life. |
Synonyms:

- fat body metabolism
- fat body storage protein uptake
- storage protein transport into fat body cells
- fat body metabolic process
