Adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) of sphingid Lepidoptera, including the identification of a second M. sexta AKH

Peptides, 2012
The adipokinetic hormones (AKHs) from the corpora cardiaca (CC) of representative species from all three subfamilies of the Sphingidae (hawkmoths) were investigated using matrix-assisted laser desorption-ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and liquid chromatography electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry (LC-ESI MS), including a re-examination of the

Synthesis of adipokinetic hormone (AKH-I) in the locust brain

Insect Biochemistry, 1987
Methanol extracts of vitellogenic female locust brains contain two factors that inhibit protein synthesis in fat body tissue excised from such individuals. One of these factors (BI) elicits lipid mobilization when injected into adult male locusts. The retention times of BI on an RP-18 column and on an RP-4 column are identical to those of synthetic ...

Molecular characterization of an adipokinetic hormone-related neuropeptide (AKH) from a mollusk

General and Comparative Endocrinology, 2017
Adipokinetic hormones (AKH) are key regulators of energy mobilization in insects. With the growing number of genome sequence available, the existence of genes encoding AKH related peptides has now been established in protostomes. Here we investigated the occurrence of a mature AKH-like neuropeptide (Cg-AKH) in the oyster Crassostrea gigas.

Structure determination of adipokinetic hormones using fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry: an unknown adipokinetic hormone (AKH-III) from Locusta migratoria

Analytica Chimica Acta, 1991
Abstract Fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry combined with various tandem mass spectrometric techniques and accurate mass measurements were used to elucidate the structure of an unknown biologically active peptide isolated from Locusta ...

The adipokinetic hormone (AKH) of one of the most basal orders of Pterygota: Structure and function of Ephemeroptera AKH

Journal of Insect Physiology, 2012
This is the first reported primary sequence of a bioactive peptide isolated from three Ephemeroptera families. Peptides of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family from the corpora cardiaca of nymphs of Afronurus spp. (Family: Heptageniidae), Siphlonurus lacustris (Family: Siphlonuridae) and Ephemera danica (Family: Ephemeridae) were investigated ...

The adipokinetic hormone system in Culicinae (Diptera: Culicidae): Molecular identification and characterization of two adipokinetic hormone (AKH) precursors from Aedes aegypti and Culex pipiens and two putative AKH receptor variants from A. aegypti

Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2009
Insect neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) family induce the mobilization of energy stores to fuel flight, but also affect the nutritional balance during diapause and oogenesis. They are therefore important regulators for flight, hibernation, and reproduction in mosquitoes including those that transmit human pathogens.

The first decapeptide adipokinetic hormone (AKH) in Heteroptera: A novel AKH from a South African saucer bug, Laccocoris spurcus (Naucoridae, Laccocorinae)

Peptides, 2011
A novel peptide of the adipokinetic hormone (AKH)/red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) family has been elucidated by mass spectrometry from the corpora cardiaca of an African saucer bug species, Laccocoris spurcus. It is the first decapeptide member found in the species-rich taxon Heteroptera, has the primary sequence pGlu-Val-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Ser ...

Effects of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment‐concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) family of peptides on MK‐801‐induced schizophrenia models

Fundamental & Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
AbstractThe adipokinetic and red pigment‐concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) family of peptides controls fat, carbohydrate, and protein metabolism in insects. In our previous study, we showed that AKH possesses antidepressant, anxiolytic, and analgesic effects, causes hyperlocomotion, and exerts neuroprotective effects and increased brain neurotrophic ...
