Article Synopsis
- Insect CAPA neuropeptides are similar to mammalian neuromedin U and play a key role in controlling fluid and ion balance through the Malpighian tubules in insects.
- In adult female mosquitoes, a hormone known as mosquito natriuretic peptide helps manage sodium levels after blood feeding, while a newly identified anti-diuretic hormone counteracts the effects of diuretic hormones.
- Research identified and characterized a specific mosquito anti-diuretic hormone receptor (AedaeADHr) that is highly responsive to CAPA neuropeptides, and the study also revealed that certain signaling pathways are essential for the anti-diuretic effects of CAPA.
