Description
Proctolin was the first bioactive peptide to be isolated from insect tissues and structurally characterized. Proctolin shows various activities, including a myotropic action, regulation of JH synthesis, and behavioral influences.
-
Biological functions
Proctolin displays potent myotropic activity in the visceral, cardiac, and skeletal muscle from a range of insect species. In addition, proctolin may act as a releasing factor for adipokinetic hormone (AKH) and juvenile hormone (JH) in the locust.However, it does not regulate JH release in the cockroach. Moreover, proctolin plays a modulatory role in a neuronal circuit controlling sexual behavior in the bow-winged grasshopper Chorthippus biguttulus.
-
Uses
Proctolin is a neuropeptide present in insects and crustaceans.
