  • Title: Isolation and identification of a peptide and its cDNA from the mosquito Aedes aegypti related to Manduca sexta allatotropin.
    Author: Veenstra JA, Costes L.
    Journal: Peptides; 1999; 20(10):1145-51. PubMed ID: 10573285.
    Abstract:
    Immunocytochemistry revealed that an allatotropin-immunoreactive peptide is produced by several neuroendocrince cells in the abdominal ganglia of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. The immunoreactive peptide was isolated and its structure determined to be Ala-Pro-Phe-Arg-Asn-Ser-Glu-Met-Met-Thr-Ala-Arg-Gly-Phe-amide. A cDNA clone encoding this novel neuropeptide was shown to encode a single copy of this peptide. The cDNA is unusual in that the first seven ATGs are not used for translation initiation.
