Research Excerpts

Overview

Proctolin is a pentapeptide (arg-tyr-leu-pro-thr) found in nervous tissues throughout the phylum Arthropoda. It is a potent selective inhibitor of aminoenkephalinase. Proctolin was discovered in the visceral muscles of the cockroach.

Effects

Proctolin has no detectable effect on muscle tension, nor does it alter the resting membrane potential of the muscle. Proctolin alone has no effect on these channels, but renders them capable of sustained activity following depolarization.

Dosage Studied

Proctolin, L-glutamate, octopamine, leucokinin-VI and ecdysone may be involved in Galleria mellonella oviposition control. Only the novel wax moth neuropeptide has the ability to trigger egg laying in that insect.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The dose-response curves of myotropic and non-myotropic factors indicate that (i) proctolin, L-glutamate, octopamine, leucokinin-VI, leucopyrokinin, ecdysone and 20-hydroxy-ecdysone, or equivalent structures, might be involved in Galleria mellonella oviposition control, and (ii) that only the novel wax moth neuropeptide has the ability to trigger egg laying in that insect."( Separation of oviposition-stimulating peptides and myotropic factors from head extracts of Galleria mellonella L.: comparative effects of myotropic and non-myotropic factors on egg laying.
