| Description | Pigment-dispersing hormone type 1 precursor [Contains: PDH precursor-related peptide (PPRD); Pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH)]. |
| Source organism | Penaeus vannamei (Penoeid shrimp) (European white shrimp) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea;Penaeidae; Litopenaeus. |
| Subcellular location | Secreted protein (By similarity) |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the arthropod PDH family. |

| Post translational modification | N/A |
| Function | The pigment-dispersing hormone causes 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 |
