Aplysia California

Egg-laying hormone (ELH), ISINQDLK AI TDMLLTEQIR ERQRYLADLR3 QRL LEKa, a 36-peptide amide from Aplysia California. ELH is synthesized by the bag cell neurons, and acts as a hormone facilitating expulsion of the egg string, and as a neurotransmitter on cells of the abdominal ganglion [A. Y. Chiu et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 1979, 76, 6656 R. H. Scheller et al.. Cell 1983, 32, 7].
