HMRbase accession number10098
Swiss-prot Accession numberQ25154 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionCrustacean hyperglycemic hormones isoform B precursor [Contains: CHHprecursor-related peptide B (CPRP-B); Crustacean hyperglycemic hormoneB (CHH-B)].
Source organismHomarus americanus (American lobster)
Taxonomical ClassificationEukaryota; Metazoa; Arthropoda; Crustacea; Malacostraca;Eumalacostraca; Eucarida; Decapoda; Pleocyemata; Astacidea;Nephropoidea; Nephropidae; Homarus.
Subcellular locationSecreted protein
Developmental StageN/A
Similarity Belongs to the arthropod CHH/MIH/GIH/VIH hormone family.
Tissue SpecificityProduced by the medulla terminalis X-organ in the eyestalks and transported to the sinus gland where they are stored and released. Present also in the ventral nervous system
Post translational modification Stereoinversion of L-Phe (form CHH-B-I) to D-Phe (form CHH-B- II).
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

HMRbase accession number10580
Swiss-prot Accession numberP19806 (Sequence in FASTA format)
DescriptionCrustacean hyperglycemic hormones isoform A precursor [Contains: CHHprecursor-related peptide A (CPRP-A); Crustacean hyperglycemic hormoneA (CHH-A) (Molt-inhibiting hormone) (MIH)].

Post translational modification Stereoinversion of L-Phe (form CHH-A-I) to D-Phe (form CHH-A- II).
FunctionCHH is the most abundant hormone 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. MIH may inhibit Y-organs where molting hormone (ecdysteroid) is secreted and a molting cycle is initiated when MIH secretion diminishes or stops
