| Subcellular location | Secreted protein |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family. |
| Tissue Specificity | N/A |
| Post translational modification | Stereoinversion of L-Phe (in CHHA-I) to D-Phe (in CHHA-II). |
| Function | Hormone found in the sinus gland of isopods and decapods which controls the blood sugar level. Has a secretagogue action over the amylase released from the midgut gland. May act as a stress hormone and may be involved in the control of molting and reproduction |
