Abstract
⺠Sex peptide receptor is activated by MIPs as well as sex peptide. ⺠MIPs likely are sex peptide receptor's ancestral ligands. ⺠Characteristic Trp residues in MIPs and sex peptide are key in activating sex peptide receptor. ⺠A chimeric peptide, based on MIP and sex peptide, is a potent agonist of sex peptide receptor.
