A single AKH neuropeptide activating three different fly AKH-receptors: an insecticide study via computational methods
… insects is regulated by adipokinetic hormones (AKHs). The fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, the flesh fly, Sarcophaga crassipalpis, and the oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis all have the same AKH that is present in the blowfly, Phormia terraenovae; this AKH has the code-name Phote-HrTH. …

Secondary structure determination of insect neuropeptides using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance and various molecular mechanics calculations
… and belonged to the Lom peptide series - Lom-AKH-I, II and Ill. The secondary structure of these hormones was investigated using high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques and various molecular mechanics computations. The interproton distances and φ torsion angles obtained …

FUNCTIONAL DISSECTION OF ADIPOKINETIC HORMONE PRODUCING CELLS
… by the endocrine factor Adipokinetic Hormone (AKH). AKH function is critical for proper energy allocation under ad libitum conditions, and is particularly important for the physiological and behavioral response to metabolic stress. Animals lacking AKH display multiple stress phenotypes …

The signal transduction of the adipokinetic hormone and regulation of energy metabolism in the cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus de Geer (Ensifera: Gryllidae)
… into lipid in vitro. Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) inhibits acetate incorporation into lipid by the fat body from adult crickets in vitro. AKH inhibits palmitate incorporation into lipid to a small extent, however, it does not influence the incorporation of palmitate into different lipid …

Hormonal control of flight metabolism in Odonata?
Members of the AKHIRPCH family of peptides were identified in corpora cardiaca of the dragonfly Anax imperator (Anisoptera: Aeshnidae), Orthetrumjuliajalsum (Anisoptera: Libellulidae) and the damselflies Pseudagrion inconspicuum and Ischnura senegalensis (Zygoptera: Coenagrionidae). After isolation …

Evaluation of Adipokinetic Hormone Receptor Function Suggests a Single Tissue is Responsible for Starvation Phenotypes in Drosophila.
Adipokinetic hormone (AKH) is an insect neurohormone critical in times of metabolic stress. AKH signals to the fat body where it induces both hypertrehalosemia and hyperlipemia. AKH secretion also leads to starvation-induced hyperactivity, a foraging behavior. Genetic ablation of AKH cells or a …

Molecular biological studies on neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment-concentrating hormone family and the neuroparsin family in the arthropod sister groups of insects and crustaceans
… which includes the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) / red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) and the neuroparsin (NP) from the South African spiny lobster, Jasus lalandii, the RPCH and the RPCH receptor (RPCHR) from the water flea D. pulex and the NP from the southern green stinkbug, Nezara …

Functional Elucidation of The Adipokinetic Hormone/Corazonin Related Peptide and Insights into Its Receptor Specificity Using Receptor Chimera in Aedes Aegypti Mosquito
… corazonin (CRZ) and adipokinetic hormone (AKH). A well-known function of the AKH signaling system is the mobilization of energy while CRZ was initially described as a cardioacceleratory factor. Contrastingly, the role of ACP and its receptor (ACPr) remains unclear in many insects. Despite …

Functional characterisation of the hypertrehalosaemic hormone from the Indian stick insect Carausius morosus: metabolic and myotropic studies
… hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) family are well known as regulators for many physiological processes in insects, notably energy metabolism, and a possible role in myostimulation. The Indian stick insect Carausius morosus contains two members of this family, …

Die Steuerung physiologischer Anpassungen von Blattläusen an veränderte ökologische Bedingungen durch endokrine Signale
… wurde für ein mutmaßliches Acyrthosiphon pisum-AKH die Aminosäure-Teilsequenz -NFST- erhalten. · Die Suche in den ersten bisher veröffentlichten Sequenzen des Genoms von A. pisum führte zu der Sequenz QVNFTPTWGQamid, die ein mutmaßliches adipokinetisches/ hypertrehalosämisches Peptid darstellt. …
