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)[1][3]. | [in vivo]
Adipokinetic hormone II (Locusta migratoria) (1 pmol in 10 μL of 10% methanol; injection) plays its own biol. role in the overall syndrome of insect flight, with different half-lives of 40 min and 37 min during rest and flight, respectively[1].
