DescriptionCrustacean hyperglycemic hormones 7 precursor (Pej-SGP-VII) [Contains:CHH precursor-related peptide 7 (CPRP 7); Crustacean hyperglycemichormone 7 (CHH 7)].
Source organismPenaeus japonicus (Kuruma prawn)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea;Penaeidae; Marsupenaeus.
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
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
