摘要：

The presence in diverse species of a similar mode of communication, that of a soluble messenger binding to a receptor, raises the question as to whether the specific components of this system are equally widespread. Do invertebrates use the same hormones and receptors as vertebrates do? Invertebrates ranging from unicellular organisms to insects have been shown to contain opiate-like peptides and binding sites, and they exhibit biological responses to opiates. However, critical genetic data are lacking. It is not known how signal systems arise phylogenetically, but it is conceivable that signal molecules that are already present cause the formation of their own receptors from membrane proteins.
