Leucomyosuppressin is isolated from head extracts of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae; inhibits evoked transmitter release at the mealworm neuromuscular junction.

Leucomyosuppressin, an insect neuropeptide, is an inhibitory myotropic peptide. Leucomyosuppressin inhibits evoked transmitter release at the mealworm neuromuscular junction[1][2].
