[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

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
