An allatotropin-like neuropeptide in Mesostoma ehrenbergii (Rhabdocoela, Platyhelminthes)
(Springer, 2012-03)
Allatotropin (AT), a neuropeptide isolated on the basis of its ability to stimulate the synthesis of juvenile hormones (JHs) in insects, has also been found in other groups. In addition to this function, AT has proved to ...
Allatostatin-C antagonizes the synergistic myostimulatory effect of allatotropin and serotonin in Rhodnius prolixus (Stal)
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2016-07)
Haematophagous insects can ingest large quantities of blood in a single meal producing a large quantity of urine in the following hours to eliminate the excess of water and mineral ions incorporated. The excretory activity ...
G protein-coupled receptor signal transduction and Ca2+ signaling pathways of the allatotropin/orexin system in Hydra
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2021-01-01)
Allatotropin is a pleiotropic peptide originally characterized in insects. The existence of AT neuropeptide signaling was proposed in other invertebrates. In fact, we previously proposed the presence of an AT-like system ...
Allatotropin modulates myostimulatory and cardioacceleratory activities in Rhodnius prolixus (Stal)
(Public Library of Science, 2015-04)
Haematophagous insects can ingest large quantities of blood in a single meal and eliminate high volumes of urine in the next few hours. This rise in diuresis is possible because the excretory activity of the Malpighian ...
