Structural mechanism of JH delivery in hemolymph by JHBP of silkworm, Bombyx mori.

Sci. Rep. 1 , 133, (2012)

Juvenile hormone (JH) plays crucial roles in many aspects of the insect life. All the JH actions are initiated by transport of JH in the hemolymph as a complex with JH-binding protein (JHBP) to target tissues. Here, we report structural mechanism of JH delive...

Farnesoid X receptor-dependent and -independent pathways mediate the transcriptional control of human fibroblast growth factor 19 by vitamin A.

Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1859 , 381-92, (2016)

Fibroblast growth factor 19 (FGF19) is a gut-derived hormone that controls bile acid (BA), carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Whereas strong evidence supports a key role of BAs and farnesoid X receptor (FXR) for the control of FGF19 expression, information on...

Activation of mammalian retinoid X receptors by the insect growth regulator methoprene.

Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 92 , 6157-6160, (1995)

We report that methoprene and its derivatives can stimulate gene transcription in vertebrates by acting through the retinoic acid-responsive transcription factors, the retinoid X receptors (RXRs). Methoprene is an insect growth regulator in domestic and agric...
