Regulatory mechanisms of the function of insulin-like peptides (ILPs) were analyzed by using fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and mammalian pancreatic β cells-derived cell line. We found that the evolutionally conserved regulatory mechanism of the insulin expression by two transcriptional factors, Dachshund and Eyeless. We further characterized a novel ILPs-binding protein called secreted decoy of InR (SDR) that binds to ILPs in the circulating hemolymph and antagonizes insulin/IGF signaling during development.
