Helicokinin III |
helicolysins |
apoptotic subcellular membranous particles |
||
Three peptides related to members of the family of Leucokinins have been identfied in the abdominal ventral nerve cord of the corn earworm Helicoverpa zea by virtue of their ability to stimulate the secretion by the Malpighian tubules of Manduca sexta (Blackburn et al, 1995).
The peptides include
Helicokinin I [YFSPWGamide, Tyr-Phe-Ser-Pro-Trp-Glyamide]
Helicokinin II [VRFSPWGamide, Val-Arg-Phe-Ser-Pro-Trp-Glyamide]
Helicokinin III [KVKFSAWGamide, Lys-Val-Lys-Phe-Ser-Ala-Trp-Glyamide].
