[edit] Description
Pigment-dispersing hormone type 1 precursor [Contains: PDH precursor-related peptide (PPRD); Pigment-dispersing hormone (PDH)].
[edit] Source Organism
Penaeus vannamei (Penoeid shrimp) (European white shrimp).
[edit] Taxomomy
Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Dendrobranchiata; Penaeoidea;Penaeidae; Litopenaeus.
[edit] Subcellular Localization
Secreted protein (By similarity).
[edit] Developmental Stage
[edit] Similarity
Belongs to the arthropod PDH family.
[edit] Post translational Modification
[edit] Function
The pigment-dispersing hormone 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
