Useful:

• Description: PBAN activates pheromone biosynthesis in lepidopteran sex pheromone glands. MRCH is structurally identical to PBAN. PBAN is a member of the FXPRLamide peptide family and is processed from a precursor peptide encoded by the DH-PBAN gene.
• Biological functions: The target of PBAN in adult female moths is the PG cells, which are found as intersegmental tissues located between the eighth and ninth abdominal segments in heliothines and B. mori.Injection or administration of PBAN into intact female moths, isolated abdomens, or in vitro cultured PG stimulates pheromone production by the PG.In Helicoverpa armigera, PBAN is known to regulate the production of the hairpencil pheromone in males.When the larvae of some kinds of armyworms grow under crowded conditions, their cuticle is heavily melanized. MRCH is responsible for melanin synthesis in this process, but the mode of action of this hormone is not yet fully understood.
