| 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.; Alpha-BCP decreases the activity of a cluster of neurons in the left upper quadrant of the abdominal ganglion.; Beta-BCP specifically excites 2 neurons; L1 and R1; in the abdominal ganglion. |
