Diuresin, SFSVNPAVDILQHRYMEKVAQNNRNFLNRVamide, termed also Mas-DP II [Manduca diuretic peptide II], has been isolated from type IIb median neurosecretory cells in the brain of adult Manduca sexta (Blackburn et al, 1991). The peptide belongs to the family of corticotropin releasing factor like peptides.
Diuresin is a diuretic peptide that stimulates water loss in the adult moth both in vitro using isolated Malphigian tubule preparations and in vivo using decapitated adult moths as bioassay animals (Blackburn and Ma, 1994).
Ma et al (2000) have reported that feeding neonates of Manduca sexta with the synthetic hormone
