Preferred term

adipokinetic hormone

Type

  • Chemical

Definition

  • Information Peptide hormones produced by some insect species stimulating the release of acylglycerols from the fat body which are used as an energy source by the flight muscles. There are several types of peptides with adipokinetic activity. These peptides are composed of 8-10 amino acids.
