[edit] Description

PBAN-type neuropeptides precursor [Contains: Diapause hormone homolog(DH); Alpha-SG neuropeptide; Beta-SG neuropeptide; Pheromonebiosynthesis-activating neuropeptide (HeA-PBAN); Gamma-SGneuropeptide].

[edit] Source Organism

Helicoverpa assulta (Oriental tobacco budworm).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota;Neoptera; Endopterygota; Lepidoptera; Glossata; Ditrysia; Noctuoidea;Noctuidae; Heliothinae; Helicoverpa.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

Detected in 1-3 day old moths.

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the pyrokinin family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

PBAN is an hormone that controls sex pheromone production in female moths and pheromone responsiveness in male. PBAN also mediates visceral muscle contractile activity (myotropic activity)
