This paper characterizes CCHamides and their receptors in Aedes aegypti, showing their expression patterns and functional role in feeding behavior.

This study characterizes ITP and ITP-L in Aedes aegypti, showing their expression patterns, localization, and roles in water conservation, excretion, and reproductive physiology.

This paper shows that CAPA inhibits diuretic hormone-induced secretion in mosquito Malpighian tubules by reducing V-type H+-ATPase activity through NOS/cGMP/PKG signaling and promoting VA complex dissociation.

This study identifies key residues in the Aedes aegypti ACPR receptor critical for ACP binding and specificity, revealing structural features that maintain functional independence between ACP and AKH signaling systems.

This study localizes ACP in Aedes aegypti and shows sex-specific effects on energy metabolism, suggesting ACP functions as a neurotransmitter with distinct roles in males and females.

This study identifies and functionally characterizes an anti-diuretic hormone receptor in Aedes aegypti, showing its role in regulating ion and water balance through the Malpighian tubules.

This study shows that CAPA neuropeptide affects Drosophila chill tolerance by altering Malpighian tubule ion and water transport, with low doses impairing and high doses improving cold tolerance.
