Ecdysteroid receptor (EcR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) in arthropods/crustaceans: same or different?

10 October 2017 0 2K Report

Just wondering whether the ecdysteroid receptor (EcR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are the same in arthropods/crustaceans, as I cant find information on PPARs in invertebrates. Will appreciate some detail information/references etc on this from fellow researchers.

Thanks

Jude
