Insight Into Mosquito GnRH-Related Neuropeptide Receptor Specificity Revealed Through Analysis of Naturally Occurring and Synthetic Analogs of This Neuropeptide Family [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019 Adipokinetic hormone (AKH), corazonin (CRZ), and the AKH/CRZ-related peptide (ACP) are neuropeptides considered homologous to the vertebrate gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH).

Cardiac neurons expressing a glucagon-like receptor mediate cardiac arrhythmia induced by high-fat diet in Drosophila [PDF]
eLifeCardiac arrhythmia leads to increased risks for stroke, heart failure, and cardiac arrest. Arrhythmic pathology is often rooted in the cardiac conduction system, but the mechanism is complex and not fully understood.

Akhirin Functions as an Innate Immune Barrier to Preserve Neurogenic Niche Homeostasis During Mouse Brain Development [PDF]
CellsNeurogenesis is tightly regulated by complex interactions among neural stem and progenitor cells (NSCs/NPCs), blood vessels, microglia, and extracellular matrix components within the neurogenic niche.

Dietary amino acids promote glucagon-like hormone release to generate global calcium waves in adipose tissues in Drosophila [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPropagation of intercellular calcium waves through tissues has been found to coordinate different multicellular responses. Nevertheless, our understanding of how calcium waves operate remains limited.

A tumor-secreted protein utilizes glucagon release to cause host wasting [PDF]
Cell DiscoveryTumor‒host interaction plays a critical role in malignant tumor-induced organ wasting across multiple species. Despite known regulation of regional wasting of individual peripheral organs by tumors, whether and how tumors utilize critical host catabolic ...

Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Increasing evidence suggests that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corazonin, adipokinetic hormone (AKH), and red pigment-concentrating hormone all share common ancestry to form a GnRH superfamily.

The proprotein convertase encoded by amontillado (amon) is required in Drosophila corpora cardiaca endocrine cells producing the glucose regulatory hormone AKH. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Peptide hormones are potent signaling molecules that coordinate animal physiology, behavior, and development. A key step in activation of these peptide signals is their proteolytic processing from propeptide precursors by a family of proteases, the ...
