DescriptionCrustacean hyperglycemic hormones precursor [Contains: CHH precursor-related peptide (CPRP); Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH)].
Source organismProcambarus clarkii (Red swamp crayfish)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Astacidea;Astacoidea; Cambaridae; Procambarus.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family.
Tissue SpecificityProduced by the medulla terminalis X-organ in the eyestalks and transported to the sinus gland where they are stored and released
Post translational modificationN/A
FunctionHormone 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
Protein Length137 Amino acids
Molecular weight15264
