Description | Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH). |
Source organism | Armadillidium vulgare (Woodlice) (Pillbugs) |
Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Peracarida; Isopoda; Oniscidea; Armadillidiidae;Armadillidium. |
Subcellular location | Secreted protein |
Developmental Stage | N/A |
Similarity | Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family. |
Tissue Specificity | Produced by the medulla terminalis X-organ in the eyestalks and transported to the sinus gland where they are stored and released. Found also in the brain; in the neuroendocrine structures of the protocerebrum |
Post translational modification | N/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 |
