The Function of C-Terminal Pentapeptide in Allatostatin Type-C: Regulating Growth and Development by Affecting Juvenile Hormone Biosynthesis in Ostrinia furnacalis

Abstract Allatostatin Type-C (AstC) is an insect neuropeptide involved in developmental regulation, but whether its conserved C-terminal pentapeptide, PISCF, remains bioactive as an isolated fragment is unclear. Herein, the synthetic PISCF was evaluated on the Asian corn borer, O...
