Neuropeptides in insects act as neuromodulators in the central and peripheral nervous
system and as regulatory hormones released into the circulation. The functional roles of …

Neuropeptides are a complex set of messenger molecules controlling a wide array of
regulatory functions and behaviors within an organism. These neuromodulators are cleaved …

Neuropeptides are important messenger molecules that influence nearly all physiological
processes. In insects, they can be released as neuromodulators within the central nervous …

Neuropeptidomic data were collected on the mosquito Ae. aegypti, which is considered the
most tractable mosquito species for physiological and endocrine studies. The data were …

Protein methylation is an essential posttranslational modification (PTM) mostly occurs at
lysine and arginine residues, and regulates a variety of cellular processes. Owing to the …

In the Mediterranean field cricket, Gryllus bimaculatus, the action of sulfakinin (SK) gene
expression on food intake, food transport in the gut and carbohydrate digestion (α-amylase …

Background: Methylation is one of the most important post-translational modifications in the
human body which usually arises on lysine among the most intensely modified residues. It …

Abstract Sulfakinin (SK)/cholecystokinin (CCK)-type neuropeptides regulate feeding and
digestion in protostomes (eg insects) and chordates. Here, we characterised SK/CCK-type …

Protein methylation is predominantly found on lysine and arginine residues, and carries
many important biological functions, including gene regulation and signal transduction …

In vertebrates, the peptides cholecystokinin (CCK), neuropeptide Y, galanin, and bombesin
are known to be involved in the control of food intake. We report here that insect sulfakinins …
