The developmental profile of a family of three FLRFamide (Phe-Leu-Arg-Phe-NH 2 ) peptides in the tobacco hornworm, Manduca sexta, revealed regional-specific expression patterns within the segmental ganglia. Levels of the three peptides-F7G (GNSFLRFamide), F7D (DPSFLRFamide), and F10 (pEDVVHS-FLRFami

During the last larval instar of Manduca sexta (tobacco hornworm), the insect enters the wandering phase, in which the animal ceases feeding and the structural reorganization of the midgut begins. Midgut metabolism and ion transport in midguts of feeding and wandering (day 5) fifth-instar tobacco ho
The monovalent ion transport systems of an immortalized insect cell line (CHE) have been investigated. These cells are unusual in that unlike most vertebrate cells, their normal extracellular environment consists of high potassium and low sodium concentrations. CHE cells maintained high intracellula
