Synonyms
  • embryonic cuticle anabolism
  • embryonic cuticle biosynthetic process
  • embryonic cuticle formation
  • embryonic cuticle synthesis
Definition
Synthesis, including the chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of chitin and other components, and deposition of a chitin-based embryonic cuticle by the underlying epidermal epithelium. This tough, waterproof cuticle layer is essential to provide structural integrity of the larval body. An example of this is found in Drosophila melanogaster. 12019232
