Description

Antidiuretic factor A (ADFa) (ADF) (Antidiuretic hormone A) (ADHA).

Source Organism

Tenebrio molitor (Yellow mealworm).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota;Neoptera; Endopterygota; Coleoptera; Polyphaga; Cucujiformia;Tenebrionidae; Tenebrio.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

To T.molitor cuticular protein LPCP29 C-terminal region.

Post translational Modification

Function

Strong inhibitor of fluid secretion by the Malpighian tubules. Uses cGMP as a second messenger and inhibits fluid production by decreasing cAMP concentration. Reduces isosmotic fluid secretion by inhibiting electroneutral and non-conductive transport pathways. Reverses the stimulatory effect of diuretic hormone I
