This review focuses on neuropeptides and peptide hormones, the largest and most diverse
class of neuroactive substances, known in Drosophila and other animals to play roles in …

As important physiological regulators, peptides have been used in many fields including
medicine, cosmetics, healthcare products, animal nutrition and health, and plant nutrition …

This review focuses on the state of the art on neuropeptide receptors in insects. Most of
these receptors are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and are involved in the regulation …

Neuropeptides are evolutionarily ancient mediators of neuronal signalling in nervous
systems. With recent advances in genomics/transcriptomics, an increasingly wide range of …

In both mammals and insects, steroid hormones play a major role in directing the animal's
progression through developmental stages. To maximize fitness outcomes, steroid hormone …

To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of General and Comparative Endocrinology, the
history of only a small portion of crustacean endocrinology is presented here. The field of …

Background G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are ancient, ubiquitous, constitute the
largest family of transducing cell surface proteins, and are integral to cell communication via …

The genome of the spider mite was prospected for the presence of genes coding
neuropeptides, neurohormones and their putative G-protein coupled receptors. Fifty one …

Insects produce many peptide hormones that play important roles in regulating growth,
development, immunity, homeostasis, stress, and other processes to maintain normal life. As …

Antisera to orcokinin B, CCHamide 1, and CCHamide 2 recognize enteroendocrine cells in
the midgut of the fruitfly Drosophila melanogaster and its larvae. Although the antisera to …
