Molecular biological studies on neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment-concentrating hormone family and the neuroparsin family in the arthropod sister groups of insects and crustaceans

Year: 2012

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This study describes the identification of three novel precursor transcripts which includes the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) / red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) and the neuroparsin (NP) from the South African spiny lobster, Jasus lalandii, the RPCH and the RPCH receptor (RPCHR) from the water flea D. pulex and the NP from the southern green stinkbug, Nezara viridula. The study also investigates the localisation and expression profiles of the AKH/RPCH and NP transcripts within crustaceans and insects.
