Interaction patterns of methoprene-tolerant and germ cell-expressed JH receptors suggest significant differences in their functioning.

Methoprene-tolerant (Met) and germ cell-expressed (Gce) proteins were shown to be juvenile hormone (JH) receptors of with partially redundant functions. We raised the question of where the functional differentiation of paralogs comes from. Therefore, we tested Met and Gce interaction patterns with selected partners.
