Abstract
⺠We have isolated an adipokinetic peptide from the stick insect Baculum extradentatum. ⺠The adipokinetic peptide in Baculum is identical to that in Carausius morosus. ⺠The adipokinetic peptide in Baculum has hypertrehalosemic and cardioacceleratory activity. ⺠A second adipokinetic peptide was found in Baculum. ⺠In the second peptide the tryptophan reside is modified to kynurenine.
