Ligand binding pocket of a novel Allatostatin receptor type C of stick insect, Carausius morosus

Scientific Reports, 2017
Allatostatins (AST) are neuropeptides with variable function ranging from regulation of developmental processes to the feeding behavior in insects. They exert their effects by binding to cognate GPCRs, called Allatostatin receptors (AlstR), which emerge ...
