Identification and Localization of Proteins Associated with Biomineralization in the Iron Deposition Vesicles of Honeybees (Apis mellifera)

Honeybees (Apis mellifera) form superparamagnetic magnetite to act as a magnetoreceptor for magnetoreception. Biomineralization of superparamagnetic magnetite occurs in the iron deposition vesicles of trophocytes. Even though magnetite has been demonstrated, the mechanism of magnetite biomineralizat...
