| Description | Red pigment-concentrating hormone (PmRPCH) (RPCH) |
| Organism | Penaeus monodon |
| Txonomy | Eukaryota; Opisthokonta; Metazoa; Eumetazoa; Bilateria; Protostomia; Ecdysozoa; Panarthropoda; Arthropoda; Mandibulata; Pancrustacea; Crustacea; Multicrustacea; Malacostraca; Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea; Penaeidae (penaeid shrimps); Penaeus; Penaeus monodon (Giant tiger prawn) |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | Expression changes during the molting cycle with highest expression in the late pre-molt and post-molt stages; intermediate expression in the intermolt stage and lowest expression in the early pre-mol |
| Similarity | Belongs to the AKH/HRTH/RPCH family. |
| Tissue Specificity | Strongly expressed in the eyestalk and weakly in brain. Not expressed in other tissues tested. |
| Post Translational Modification | NA |
| Function | This hormone adapts the animal to light backgrounds by stimulating concentration of the pigment of its red body-chromatophores. |
