Quercetin interacts with calmodulin, a calcium regulatory protein Page 1 184 available space,
with the spermatheca becoming more densely packed with a longer time since insemination.
The most parsimonius explanation for the reported fluctuations of phenotypic frequencies, lies
in the process of sperm migration and the filling of the spermatheca. Queens mate with many
drones in rapid succession and receive the semen of these drones into the distensible lateral
oviducts 6. Spermatozoa migrate into the spermatheca by active and passive mechanisms …
Summary
Quercetin was found to interact with the Ca2+-calmodulin complex, suggesting that it may act as a calmodulin antagonist in vivo to inhibit calmodulin-dependent phenomena caused by biologically active agents, including tumor promoters.
