The first insect protein with the capacity to bind mammalian insulin and insulin-like peptides had a serendipitous discovery eight years ago. A 27 kDa protein from the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda was uncovered as an insulin-binding activity in insect-cell-conditioned media during attempts to purify fragments of the insulin receptor from Sf9 cells 1 . The protein was purified and identified allowing subsequent identification of its single Drosophila homolog Imp-L2 1 . In a recent study in Journal of Biology Honegger and coworkers 2 present the first and long-awaited in vivo functional characterization of this insect insulin insulin-like growth factor IGF binding protein. Insulin IGF signaling and IGF binding proteins The insulin IGF signaling IIS pathway is an evolutionarily conserved neuroendocrine signaling pathway that regulates a plethora of metazoan functions and traits both during development and in the adult. In model animals ranging from the nematode worm and the fruit fly to the mouse IIS affects growth and development metabolic energy homeostasis stress resistance reproduction and lifespan 3-5 . The cellular IIS cascade is initiated by the extracellular binding of an insulin .
