[edit] Description

Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone A (CHHA).

[edit] Source Organism

Cherax destructor (Yabbie).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Astacidea;Parastacoidea; Parastacidae; Cherax.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

Stereoinversion of L-Phe (in CHHA-I) to D-Phe (in CHHA-II).

[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
