Description

Probable molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH).

Source Organism

Jasus lalandii (South African spiny lobster).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Palinura;Palinuroidea; Palinuridae; Jasus.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted protein.

Developmental Stage

Similarity

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

Post translational Modification

Function

Inhibits Y-organs where molting hormone (ecdysteroid) is secreted. A molting cycle is initiated when MIH secretion diminishes or stops. Has little or no hyperglycemic activity

GeneID
