bursicon

12/01/2016 - "Additionally, in contrast to bursicon, the insects showed increased melanism when NilluITP was eliminated by RNAi. "
12/01/2016 - "However, when NilluITP expression was suppressed, the insect exhibited melanism and failed wing expansion, indicating that NilluITP is a neuropeptide associated with wing expansion in addition to bursicon. "

01/01/2020 - "Here we investigated the site of bursicon action in Drosophila by examining the consequences on tanning of disabling the bursicon receptor (encoded by the rickets gene) in different tissues. "
11/15/2014 - "Furthermore, tissue-specific expression of the tethered bursicon inhibitor unraveled a critical role for rickets in a subset of adult muscles. "
11/15/2014 - "Consistent with this hypothesis, we show in vitro that sustained stimulation of rickets by tethered bursicon leads to receptor desensitization. "
11/15/2014 - "These phenotypes suggest that expression of tethered bursicon inhibits rickets-mediated function. "
11/15/2014 - "We have developed a membrane-tethered bursicon construct that enables spatial modulation of rickets-mediated physiology in transgenic flies. "

01/01/2019 - "We found that abdominal ganglion was the main neurohemal release site of bursicon in Neocaridina heteropoda. "
12/31/2008 - "Here we show by targeted suppression of excitability that a pair of bursicon-immunoreactive neurons distinct from the B(AG) and located within the subesophageal ganglion in Drosophila (the B(SEG)) is involved in controlling wing expansion behaviors. "
01/11/2006 - "The first group, which we call NCCAP-c929, includes 14 bursicon-expressing neurons of the abdominal ganglion that lie within the expression pattern of the enhancer-trap line c929-Gal4. "
01/07/1966 - "The properties of fractions with bursicon activity in blood, brain, and ganglion of a fly (Sarcophaga bullata), and in blood, ganglion, and corpora cardiaca of a roach (Periplaneta americana) are similar, but not identical. "
12/31/2008 - "The somatic effects of the hormone are governed by bursicon that is released into the blood from neurons in the abdominal ganglion (the B(AG)), which die after wing expansion. "

06/05/2014 - "Cnidarians, such as the sea anemone, coral, and hydra, diverged later in metazoan evolution and appear to have duplicated and differentiated CKH-like peptides resulting in bursicon/GPH-like peptides and several BMP antagonists: Gremlin (Grem), sclerostin domain containing (SOSD), neuroblastoma suppressor of tumorigenicity 1 (NBL1), and Norrie disease protein. "

01/01/2022 - "Bursicon (Burs) and crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) receptors involved in molting along with ecdysone synthesis were also strongly up-regulated in the aphid response to the fungal infection. "
