Leucokinins: Multifunctional Neuropeptides and Hormones in Insects and Other Invertebrates
Leucokinins (LKs) constitute a neuropeptide family first discovered in a cockroach and later identified in numerous insects and several other invertebrates. The LK receptors are only distantly related to other known receptors. Among insects, there are many examples of species where genes encoding LK...
