昆虫神经肽allatostatin与allatotropin的研究新近展关雪辰(中国科学院动物研究所北京100080)昆虫神经激素是肽类激素,它控制昆虫许多关键的生理过程,例如生长、变态、生殖和行为等。保幼激素(JH)对昆虫的卵子发生成熟起着重要的调...
Recently,two families of insect neuropeptides, the allatostatin, and allatotropin, have been identified.All allatostatins and allatotropins identified so far are neurosecretory polypeptides.A 13--amino acid allatotropin has been identified from adult Manduca sexta. A group of five structurally related allatostatins has been identified from Diploptara punctata.They either inhibit (allatostatin) or stimulate (allatotropin) the production of JH by CA. In this paper recent advances inresearchon insect neuropeptides AS and AT and their biological sighficance are reported.
