Tachykinin-related peptides modulate immune-gene expression in the mealworm beetle Tenebrio molitor L.
Abstract Tachykinins (TKs) are a group of conserved neuropeptides. In insects, tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs) are important modulators of several functions such as nociception and lipid metabolism. Recently, it has become clear that TRPs also play a role in regulating the insect immune system. H...
