✦ Synopsis

Pheromone production in most moths is regulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptides (PBAN) produced in the subesophageal ganglion. This paper will review the current concepts related to how PBAN stimulates the pheromone biosynthetic pathway at the level of the pheromone gland cell. Data will be presented using pharmacological compounds that help determine the mode of action of PBAN at the cellular level. Current concepts on the signal transduction pathways involved in PBAN mode of action will be discussed.

In vivo treatments of female sex pheromone glands of the processionary moth, Thaurnetopoea pityocampa, with mass-labeled fatty acids showed that ( Z ) -13-hexadecen-11-ynyl acetate, the main sex pheromone component, is biosynthesized from palmitic acid by the combined action of delta-I1 and delta-13
