[edit] Description

Molt-inhibiting hormone-like precursor (MIH-like) (Fragment).

[edit] Source Organism

Penaeus vannamei (Penoeid shrimp) (European white shrimp).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea;Penaeidae; Litopenaeus.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Inhibits Y-organs where molting hormone (ecdysteroid) is secreted. A molting cycle is initiated when MIH secretion diminishes or stops
