HMRbase accession number10061
Swiss-prot Accession numberQ7M427 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionEgg-laying hormone (ELH).
Source organismAplysia brasiliana (Mottled sea hare)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Orthogastropoda;Apogastropoda; Heterobranchia; Euthyneura; Opisthobranchia; Anaspidea;Aplysioidea; Aplysiidae; Aplysia.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the molluscan ELH family.
Tissue SpecificityBag cell neurons
Post translational modificationN/A
FunctionELH acts as a neurotransmitter locally, upon neurons of the abdominal ganglion and as a hormone by diffusing into the circulating hemolymph and modulating the activity of other organs. It specifically causes contraction of smooth muscle in the ovotestis and expulsion of the egg string
