Adipokinetic hormone II (Locusta migratoria)

Description

Adipokinetic hormone II Locusta migratoria Lom-AKH-II is a insect adipokinetic hormone AKH , enhances fat body cAMP levels in vitro. Insect adipokinetic hormones AKHs controls flight-directed mobilization of carbohydrate and lipid from fat body stores, which depends on AKH receptor s coupling to cAMP formation and glycogen phosphorylase activation via the stimulatory guanine nucleotide-binding protein Gs .
