Abstract: A molecule involved in pathogen recognition by the immune system has a homologue functioning in insect pheromone detection. These results suggest a unifying model whereby the protein CD 36 recognizes lipids (bacterial components or insect pheromones) and couples that to intracellular signalling in the immune or nervous systems.
