DescriptionProbable molt-inhibiting hormone precursor (MEE-MIH).
Source organismMetapenaeus ensis (Greasyback shrimp) (Sand shrimp)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea;Penaeidae; Metapenaeus.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family.
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in the postmolt, intermolt, and premolt stages of the shrimp eyestalks and the brain
Post translational modificationN/A
Function Inhibits Y-organs where molting hormone (ecdysteroid) is secreted. A molting cycle is initiated when MIH secretion diminishes or stops
