Source Organism

Penaeus japonicus (Kuruma prawn).

Taxomomy

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

Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

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

Post translational Modification

Function

Hormone found in the sinus gland of isopods and decapods which controls the blood sugar level. Has a secretagogue action over the amylase released from the midgut gland. May act as a stress hormone and may be involved in the control of molting and reproduction
