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 …

A single AKH neuropeptide activating three different fly AKH-receptors: an insecticide study via computational methods
… the flight muscles of 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 …
