Global identification of bursicon-regulated genes in
BMC Genomics, 2008 Background Bursicon is a heterodimer neuropeptide responsible for regulating cuticle sclerotization and wing expansion in several insect species. Recent studies indicate that the action of bursicon is mediated by a specific G protein-coupled receptor ...

SoxC is Required for Ecdysteroid Induction of Neuropeptide Genes During Insect Eclosion [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 In insects, the shedding of the old exoskeleton is accomplished through ecdysis which is typically followed by the expansion and tanning of the new cuticle.

LGR signaling mediates muscle-adipose tissue crosstalk and protects against diet-induced insulin resistance [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsObesity impairs tissue insulin sensitivity and signaling, promoting type-2 diabetes. Although improving insulin signaling is key to reversing diabetes, the multi-organ mechanisms regulating this process are poorly defined.

New functions of arthropod bursicon: inducing deposition and thickening of new cuticle and hemocyte granulation in the blue crab, Callinectes sapidus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Arthropod growth requires molt-associated changes in softness and stiffness of the cuticle that protects from desiccation, infection and injury. Cuticle hardening in insects depends on the blood-borne hormone, bursicon (Burs), although it has never been ...

LGR signaling and metabolic regulation: A new frontier in addressing insulin resistance and diabetes treatment. [PDF]
J Diabetes InvestigLGR signaling plays a crucial role in metabolic regulation by coordinating muscle‐neuron‐adipose tissue crosstalk. In response to a high‐sugar diet, muscle‐derived BMP signaling activates neuronal Bursicon, which stimulates insulin secretion and enhances adipose insulin sensitivity.
