description | DH31 is a diuretic hormone that increases cAMP production and fluid secretion in Malpighian tubules of several insect species. DH31 is similar to the calcitonin family [, ]. In Drosophila, it has also been linked to a neuropeptide relay mechanism for circadian control of sleep [], and peristalsis in the junction region of the larval midgut []. Drosophila neuropeptide DH31 is a ligand for orphan GPCR named CG17415 [].This entry also includes venom protein 55.1 and U-limacoditoxin(8)-Dv66 (also known as Vulnericin) [], which belong to the diuretic hormone class 2 family. |
