The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) regulates downstream genes by binding to a heterotrimeric G protein. However, the function of sex peptide receptor (SPR) in lepidopteran species is mostly unknown. Understanding the physiological functions of SPR in insects is essential for exploring new insecti...
