Functional Characterization of Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Receptors (AgETHR-A and AgETHR-B) in the African Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae

Functional Characterization of Ecdysis Triggering Hormone Receptors (AgETHR-A and AgETHR-B) in the African Malaria Mosquito, Anopheles gambiae

Insect ecdysis behavior, shedding off the old cuticle, is under the control of specific neuropeptides with the top command by the ecdysis triggering hormone (ETH). We characterized the ETH receptor (ETHR) of the malaria mosquito, Anopheles gambiae, by manual annotation of the NCBI gene (AGAP002881)...
