In Vitro Proctolin can increase the frequency of action potentials, increase the amplitude of muscle contraction, and initiate activity in quiescent systems[1]. In the arthropods, Proctolin acts as a neuromodulator and possibly as a neurohormone. It does not appear to function as a conventional neurotransmitter[2]. Proctolin is a pentapeptide with the mature peptide of RYLPT, and it is the first insect neuropeptide to be sequenced and chemically characterized. The first identification of a Proctolin precursor gene is CG7105 in D. melanogaster. Although a previous study showed that Proctolin is absent in B. mori, this pentapeptide is recently identified in a proteomic analysis of B. mori wings. However, the Bombyx Proctolin gene does not produce a mature peptide because cleavage sites are not present at the N-terminal and C-terminal of the RYLPT sequence, and a similar gene is observed in C. suppressalis. Therefore, a true Proctolin has been considered to be not observed in B. mori and C. suppressalis[3].
