Description

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

Source Organism

Helicoverpa assulta (Oriental tobacco budworm).

Taxomomy

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

Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

Developmental Stage

Detected in 1-3 day old moths.

Similarity

Belongs to the pyrokinin family.

Post translational Modification

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)
