标题：Molecular identification, transcript expression, and functional deorphanization of the adipokinetic hormone/corazonin-related peptide receptor in the disease vector, Aedes aegypti
摘要：= 10.25 nM). Analysis of the AedaeACPR-I and AedaeACP transcript levels in all post-embryonic developmental stages using quantitative RT-PCR identified enrichment of both transcripts after adult eclosion. Tissue-specific expression profiling in adult mosquitoes reveals expression of the AedaeACPR-I receptor transcript in the central nervous system, including significant enrichment within the abdominal ganglia. Further, the AedaeACP transcript is prominently detected within the brain and thoracic ganglia. Collectively, these results indicate a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter role for ACP and suggest this neuropeptide may function in regulation of post-ecdysis activities.
