Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

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

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Represses the synthesis of methyl farnesoate, the precursor of insect juvenile hormone III in the mandibular organ. Also has hyperglycemic activity
