Drosophila metamorphosis: the only way is USP?
The steroid insect molting hormone 20-hydroxyecdysone is believed to control critical aspects of development and reproduction through a heterodimeric receptor comprising the Ecdysone Receptor and the Ultraspiracle proteins. Recent findings suggest that other hormones and receptors might also be involved.
