Description

Ovulation prohormone precursor [Contains: Beta-3-CDCP; Beta-2-CDCP;Beta-1-CDCP; Calfluxin; Alpha-CDCP; Ovulation hormone (Cerebralneurosecretory caudodorsal cell hormone) (CDCH); X-CDCP].

Source Organism

Lymnaea stagnalis (Great pond snail).

Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Mollusca; Gastropoda; Pulmonata; Basommatophora;Lymnaeoidea; Lymnaeidae; Lymnaea.

Subcellular Localization

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the molluscan ELH family.

Post translational Modification

Function

CDCH induces ovulation and egg-mass production; it may also stimulate synthesis of secretory products in the female accessory sex glands and affect neurons in the neuronal circuits controlling locomotion and feeding

GeneID
