Allatostatins are insect and crustacean neuropeptides that inhibit juvenile hormone and reduce food intake. Allostatin B2 (cricket-type), a myoinhibitory peptide (MIP), is used to study the regulation of juvenile hormone production and as a target for insecticide development.

The crustacean stomatogastric ganglion (STG) is modulated by a large number of amines and neuropeptides that are found in descending pathways from anterior ganglia or reach the STG via the hemolymph. Among these are the allatostatin (AST) B types, also

Myoinhibitory peptides (MIPs) are a family of insect W(X(6))Wamides with inhibitory effects on visceral muscles and juvenile hormone synthesis. Although MIPs are widely distributed within the nervous system, a detailed analysis of their distribution and function in insect brains is

The insect allatostatins obtained their names because they block the biosynthesis of juvenile hormone (a terpenoid) in the corpora allata (two endocrine organs near the insect brain). Chemically, the allatostatins can be subdivided into three different peptide groups: the A-type

Allatoregulatory peptides either inhibit (allatostatins) or stimulate (allatotropins) juvenile hormone (JH) synthesis by the corpora allata (CA) of insects. However, these peptides are pleitropic, the regulation of JH biosynthesis is not their only function. There are currently three allatostatin families
