HMRbase accession number10083
Swiss-prot Accession numberQ9VD83 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionBursicon precursor (Bursicon subunit alpha) (Cuticle-tanning hormone).
Source organismDrosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota;Neoptera; Endopterygota; Diptera; Brachycera; Muscomorpha;Ephydroidea; Drosophilidae; Drosophila.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageExpression is low in larval stages and increases before ecdysis; consistent with role in postecdysial cuticle changes.
Similarity Contains 1 CTCK (C-terminal cystine knot-like) domain.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in one to two pairs of neurons in each of the thoracic and abdominal neuromeres of the larval CNS. Coexpressed with CCAP in most CCAP-specific neurons. Coexpressed with pburs in four bilateral neurons in thoracic and abdominal neuromeres of the ventral nervous system
Post translational modificationN/A
FunctionFinal heterodimeric neurohormone released at the end of the molting cycle, involved in the sclerotization (tanning) of the insect cuticle, melanization and wing spreading. Heterodimer specifically activates the G protein-coupled receptor rk
