Re-evaluation of the PBAN receptor (PBANR) molecule: characterization of PBANR variants expressed in the pheromone glands of moths

Sex pheromone production in most moths is initiated following pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptide receptor (PBANR) activation. PBANR was initially cloned from pheromone glands (PGs) of Helicoverpa zea and Bombyx mori. The B. mori PBANR is characterized by a relatively long C-terminus that...
