The Drosophila chorion contains an endogenous peroxidase activity which remains inactive until late stage 14, when it catalyzes the crosslinking of the chorionic proteins. Using explanted follicles developing in vitro, premature, but otherwise normal crosslinking, can be induced with hydrogen peroxide and normal crosslinking can be prevented with peroxidase inhibitors. Inhibition, or premature activation of the shell peroxidase, allows characterization of chorionic filament specific proteins, and establishes new criteria for the identification of eggshell components.
