RT   concentrating hormone family isolated and sequenced from a dragonfly.";
RL   Biol. Chem. Hoppe-Seyler 371:475-483(1990).
CC   -!- FUNCTION: This hormone, released from cells in the corpora cardiaca,
CC       causes release of diglycerides from the fat body and stimulation of
CC       muscles to use these diglycerides as an energy source during energy-
CC       demanding processes.
CC   -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
CC   -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the AKH/HRTH/RPCH family. {ECO:0000305}.
