Sericin Sericin is a protein created by "Bombyx mori" (silkworms) in the production of silk. Silk is a fibre produced by the silkworm in production of its cocoon.

It is the closest relative of "Bombyx mori" the domesticated silkmoth or "silkworm" (properly, this refers to the caterpillars only).

Its main difference from the domesticated taxon is the more slender body with well-developed wings in males, and the dull greyish-brown colour.
