Blanching hormone

The prawn Pandalus borealis changes its body color by means of movable pigment granules. The neurosecretory octapeptide blanching hormone (Table 30-5) controls the process. This is a member of a larger family of peptide hormones with related functions such as the 18-residue pigment-dispersing hormone of the fiddler crab and similar hormones in insects. ... [Pg.847]

The similarity of the crustacean blanching substance (Factor A) found in crustacean sinus glands and insect corpora cardiaca has been confirmed by the structural identification of a family of neuropeptides common to arthropods. The first identified member of this family is RPCH (red pigment concentrating hormone), an octapeptide (pGlu-Leu-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Gly-Trp-amide) isolated from eyestalks of the shrimp Pandalus borealis (28). Shortly thereafter, a related peptide--designated as adipokinetic hormone (AKH)--was purified from locust... [Pg.112]
