Fat Body—Multifunctional Insect Tissue
Insects, 2021 The biodiversity of useful organisms, e.g., insects, decreases due to many environmental factors and increasing anthropopressure. Multifunctional tissues, such as the fat body, are key elements in the proper functioning of invertebrate organisms and ...

Structure-Function Relationships of Glycoprotein Hormones and their Subunits' Ancestors
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2015 Glycoprotein hormones (GPHs) are the most complex molecules with hormonal activity. They exist only in vertebrates but the genes encoding their subunits ancestors are found in most vertebrate invertebrate species although their roles are still unknown.In

Leucokinins: Multifunctional Neuropeptides and Hormones in Insects and Other Invertebrates [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Leucokinins (LKs) constitute a neuropeptide family first discovered in a cockroach and later identified in numerous insects and several other invertebrates. The LK receptors are only distantly related to other known receptors. Among insects, there are many examples of species where genes encoding LKs and their receptors are absent.

The microbiome of the invertebrate model host Galleria mellonella is dominated by Enterococcus
Animal Microbiome, 2019 Background The popularity of Galleria mellonella as invertebrate model is increasing rapidly, because it forms an attractive alternative to study bacterial, fungal and viral infections, toxin biology, and to screen antimicrobial drugs.

Conservation of progesterone hormone function in invertebrate reproduction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 Steroids play fundamental roles regulating mammalian reproduction and development. Although sex steroids and their receptors are well characterized in vertebrates and several arthropod invertebrates, little is known about the hormones and receptors regulating reproduction in other invertebrate species.

Ultraspiracle: An invertebrate nuclear receptor for juvenile hormones [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1997 Juvenile hormones (JH), a sesquiterpenoid group of ligands that regulate developmental transitions in insects, bind to the nuclear receptor ultraspiracle (USP). In fluorescence-based binding assays, USP protein binds JH III and JH III acid with specificity, adopting for each ligand a different final conformational state.
