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.

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020 The identification of structurally related hypothalamic hormones that regulate blood pressure and diuresis (vasopressin, VP; CYFQNCPRG-NH2) or lactation and uterine contraction (oxytocin, OT; CYIQNCPLG-NH2) was a major advance in neuroendocrinology ...

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2017 Hormones control various metabolic traits comprising fat deposition or starvation resistance. Here we show that two invertebrate neurohormones, octopamine (OA) and tyramine (TA) as well as their associated receptors, had a major impact on these metabolic
