Biological Activity
Corazonin is produced by lateral brain neurosecretory cells projecting to the corpora cardiaca-corpora allata complex and in neurons of the ventral nerve cord[1].
Corazonin evokes inward currents in Xenopus oocytes with an EC50 value of 200 pM and leads to luminescence response from CHO cells with an EC50 value of 75 pM, respectively[1].
