A large number of decapod crustaceans with sexual dimorphism in body size, most of which, are important economic animals. Besides, some of them such as the red swamp crayfish Procambarus clarkii possess strong invasive ability and would damage ecosystem environment. Thereby, monosex culture of decapods would contribute to not only increasing yield and profits, but also reducing the risks of biological invasion. Insulin-like androgenic gland hormone was reported to be a key regulator in sex differentiation. All-male populations in Macrobrachium rosenbergii were successfully produced through insulin-like androgenic gland hormone manipulation. In addition to sex differentiation, insulin-like androgenic gland hormone was reported to be involved in male secondary sex characteristics maintenance, growth, metabolism, morphology change, ovary development and other functions. Considering its important application value for decapods, insulin-like androgenic gland hormone has attracted much attention in recent years. This hormone was reported to have the structure and function similar to androgenic gland hormone of isopods. In this study, the origin of name of androgenic gland hormone and insulin-like androgenic gland hormone was investigated, and the recent research on structure, function, application and molecular regulation mechanism of insulin-like androgenic gland hormone of decapods was reviewed.

性别逆转因素：十足足类中的胰岛素样雄激素

体型有性别二态性的大量十足目甲壳类动物，其中大部分是重要的经济动物。此外，其中一些如红沼泽小龙虾Procambarus clarkii具有很强的入侵能力，会破坏生态系统环境。因此，十足目单性培养不仅有助于提高产量和利润，还有助于降低生物入侵的风险。据报道，胰岛素样雄激素是性别分化的关键调节剂。罗氏沼虾的全雄性种群通过胰岛素样雄激素腺激素操作成功产生。据报道，除性别分化外，胰岛素样雄激素还参与男性第二性征的维持、生长、代谢、形态变化、卵巢发育等功能。考虑到其在十足目动物中的重要应用价值，类胰岛素雄激素近年来备受关注。据报道，这种激素的结构和功能类似于等足类动物的雄激素。本研究对类雄激素和类胰岛素雄激素名称的由来进行了研究，并对近来在十足动物类胰岛素雄激素的结构、功能、应用及分子调控机制等方面的研究进行了综述。
