[edit] Description
Adipokinetic prohormone type 3 precursor [Contains: Adipokinetichormone 3 (Adipokinetic hormone III) (AKH-III); Adipokinetic hormoneprecursor-related peptide gamma chain (APRP-gamma)].
[edit] Source Organism
Locusta migratoria (Migratory locust).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota;Neoptera; Orthopteroidea; Orthoptera; Caelifera; Acridomorpha;Acridoidea; Acrididae; Oedipodinae; Locusta.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted protein.
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the AKH/HRTH/RPCH family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
[edit] Function
This hormone, released from cells in the corpora cardiaca after the beginning of flight, causes release of diglycerides from the fat body and then stimulates the flight muscles to use these diglycerides as an energy source
