The Insect Prothoracic Gland as a Model for Steroid Hormone Biosynthesis and Regulation
Steroid hormones are ancient signaling molecules found in vertebrates and insects alike. Both taxa show intriguing parallels with respect to how steroids function and how their synthesis is regulated. As such, insects are excellent models for studying universal aspects of steroid physiology. Here, w...
