HMRbase accession number10582
Swiss-prot Accession numberP14944 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionCrustacean hyperglycemic hormones precursor [Contains: CHH precursor-related peptide (CPRP); Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH)].
Source organismCarcinus maenas (Common shore crab) (Green crab)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Brachyura;Eubrachyura; Portunoidea; Portunidae; Carcinus.
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 modification The N-terminus is blocked only in isoform CHH-II but not in isoform CHH-I.
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
