Invertebrate Neurohormone GPCRs

Abstract

Neurohormones (biogenic amines, neuropeptides, and protein hormones) and their G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) occupy a high hierarchic position in the physiology of invertebrates because they steer important processes such as development, growth, reproduction, feeding, homeostasis, and behavior. In this article, we focus on the neurohormone GPCRs from insects (which comprise 75% of all animal species) and complement them with further examples from other invertebrates. The presence of 24 insect genome projects has greatly facilitated the identification of insect neurohormone GPCRs and has enabled us to draw important conclusions on the evolution and co-evolution of insect neurohormone GPCRs and their ligands.
