| Description | Egg-laying hormone (ELH). |
| Organism | Aplysia brasiliana |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Orthogastropoda;Apogastropoda; Heterobranchia; Euthyneura; Opisthobranchia; Anaspidea;Aplysioidea; Aplysiidae; Aplysia. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | Belongs to the molluscan ELH family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Bag cell neurons |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | ELH 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 |
