The molting process in arthropods is regulated by steroid hormones acting via nuclear
receptor proteins. The most common molting hormone is the ecdysteroid, 20 …

Molting is critical for growth, development, reproduction, and survival in arthropods.
Complex neuroendocrine pathways are involved in the regulation of molting and may …

The P450 family (CYP genes) of arthropods encodes diverse enzymes involved in the
metabolism of foreign compounds and in essential endocrine or ecophysiological functions …

In 1974, Ashburner and colleagues postulated a model to explain the control of the puffing
sequence on Drosophila polytene chromosomes initiated by the molting hormone 20 …

Several reviews devoted to various aspects of ecdysone research have been published
during the last few years. Therefore, this article concentrates mainly on the considerable …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines the information gathered about the ecdysteroid
receptor at three levels and provides brief descriptions and references for the tools used to …

This communication reviews most of the important findings related to venom components

A heterodimer of two nuclear receptors, ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle,
mediates 20‐hydroxyecdysone (20E) signaling to modulate many aspects in insect life, such …

In arthropods, ecdysteroids regulate molting by activating a heterodimer formed by the
ecdysone receptor (EcR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR). While this mechanism is similar in …

A heterodimer of ultraspiracle (USP) and ecdysone receptor (EcR) mediates 20‐
hydroxyecdysone (20E) signalling cascade to regulate insect moulting and metamorphosis …
