Two Splice Isoforms of Leptinotarsa Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Receptor Have Distinct Roles in Larva-Pupa Transition

Insect ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH) receptors (ETHRs) are rhodopsin-like G protein-coupled receptors. Upon binding its ligand ETH, ETHR initiates a precisely programed ecdysis behavior series and physiological events. In Drosophila melanogaster, the ethr gene produces two functionally distinct s...
