HMRbase accession number10697
Swiss-prot Accession numberP37085 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionPigment-dispersing hormone A precursor [Contains: PDH precursor-related peptide (PRPP); Pigment-dispersing hormone A (PDH A) (Light-adapting distal retinal pigment hormone A) (DRPH A)].
Source organismOrconectes limosus (Spinycheek crayfish)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Astacidea;Astacoidea; Cambaridae; Orconectes; Faxonius.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the arthropod PDH family.
Tissue SpecificityOptical ganglia of the eyestalk
Post translational modificationN/A
FunctionCauses the migration of the distal retinal pigment into the proximal end of the pigment chromatophore cells and thus decreases the amount of light entering the retinulas. May also function as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator
