[edit] Description
Pigment-dispersing hormone 2 precursor [Contains: PDH precursor-related peptide 2; Pigment-dispersing hormone 2 (PDH 2)].
[edit] Source Organism
Callinectes sapidus (Blue crab).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Brachyura;Eubrachyura; Portunoidea; Portunidae; Callinectes.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted protein.
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the arthropod PDH family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
[edit] Function
Causes the migration of the distal retinal pigment into the proximal end of the pigment chromatophore cells and thus decreases the amount of light entering the retinulas. May also function as a neurotransmitter and/or neuromodulator
