Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica.

Localization and functional characterization of a novel adipokinetic hormone in the mollusk, Aplysia californica.

Increasing evidence suggests that gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), corazonin, adipokinetic hormone (AKH), and red pigment-concentrating hormone all share common ancestry to form a GnRH superfamily. Despite the wide presence of these peptides in protostomes, their biological effects remain poor...
