[edit] Description

Diuretic hormone class 2 (Diuretic hormone class II) (Diureticpeptide) (DP) (DH(31)).

[edit] Source Organism

Diploptera punctata (Pacific beetle cockroach).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Hexapoda; Insecta; Pterygota;Neoptera; Orthopteroidea; Dictyoptera; Blattaria; Blaberidae;Diplopterinae; Diploptera.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the diuretic hormone class II family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Regulation of fluid secretion. Stimulates primary urine secretion by Malpighian tubules and causes a dose-dependent stimulation of cAMP levels in the tubules. Has a nonselective effect on Na(+)/K(+) ion transport. In vitro, primarily elevates intracellular Ca(2+). Has synergistic effects with the larger diuretic hormone DH(46) which co-occurs with it
