    Summary
    Enables prothoracicotrophic hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including negative phototaxis; positive regulation of ecdysteroid biosynthetic process; and torso signaling pathway. Located in varicosity. Is expressed in adult prothoracic gland innervating neuron PG-LP; larval PTTH neuron of pars lateralis; and prothoracic gland innervating neurons.
