RNAi studies reveal a conserved role for RXR in molting in the cockroach Blattella germanica.

Journal of insect physiology - 1 Apr 2006

Martín David, Maestro Oscar, Cruz Josefa, Mané-Padrós Daniel, Bellés Xavier

Abstract excerpt

Ecdysteroids play a major role during developmental growth in insects. The more active form of these hormones, 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E), acts upon binding to its heterodimeric receptor, formed by the two nuclear receptors, EcR and RXR/USP. Functional characterization of USP has been exclusively conducted on the holometabolous insect Drosophila melanogaster. However, it has been impossible to extend such analysis...
