Abstract: Recently, two families of insect neuropeptides, the allatostatin, andallatotropin, have been identified. All allatostatins and allatotropins identified so farare neurosecretory polypeptides. A 13-amino acid allatotropin has been identifiedfrom adult Manduca sexta. A group of five structurally related allatostatins has beenidentified from Diploptara punctata. They either inhibit (allatostatin) or stimulate(allatotropin) the production of JH by CA. In this paper recent advances in researchon insect neuropeptides AS and AT and their biological significance are reported.
Key words: neuropeptides, juvenile hormone, corpora allata.
