Identification and characterization of iPTH and two parathyroid hormone receptors-like (PTHR1 and PTHR2) in the tick <i>Ixodes ricinus</i>
2026-06-26
Abstract excerpt
The tick Ixodes ricinus is the main vector of human and animal pathogens in Europe. Despite its importance in epidemiology and medicine, our understanding of physiological mechanisms controlling blood feeding, osmoregulation, or development are still limited. Here, we identify novel neuropeptide invertebrate parathyroid hormone-like peptide (iPTH) and its two receptors – PTHR1 and PTHR2 in I. ricinus . Functiona...
