Crustacean Hyperglycemic Hormone Family: Old Paradigms and New Perspectives1
SYNOPSIS. I present an overview of recent research on the isolation and characterization of members of the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) neuropeptide family. Members of this arthropod-specific family include CHH, molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH), vitellogenesis-inhibiting hormone (VIH), and mandibular organ-inhibiting hormone (MOIH). There are two subfamilies of this neuropeptide group, b...
متن کاملStressed-out lobsters: crustacean hyperglycemic hormone and stress proteins.
Organisms in natural habitats must frequently respond to changes in their environments through various physiological mechanisms. My laboratory has developed several methods for the quantification of stress in crustaceans. An ELISA was developed for the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) from the American lobster (Homarus americanus). It is sensitive to as little as 0.2 fmol of peptide. Incr...
متن کاملHigh-definition de novo sequencing of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH)-family neuropeptides.
A complete understanding of the biological functions of large signaling peptides (>4 kDa) requires comprehensive characterization of their amino acid sequences and post-translational modifications, which presents significant analytical challenges. In the past decade, there has been great success with mass spectrometry-based de novo sequencing of small neuropeptides. However, these approaches ar...
متن کاملCHHBP: a newly identified receptor of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone.
Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) is a neurohormone found only in arthropods that plays a pivotal role in the regulation of hemolymph glucose levels, molting and stress responses. Although it was determined that a membrane guanylyl cyclase (GC) acts as the CHH receptor in the Y-organ during ecdysteroidogenesis, the identity of the CHH receptor in the hepatopancreas has not been established...
متن کاملComparative genomic analysis of crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) neuropeptide genes across diverse crustacean
Recent studies on bioactive peptides have shed light on the Background: importance of these compounds in regulating a multitude of physiological, behavioral and biological processes in animals. Specifically, the neuropeptides of the crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) superfamily is known to control a number of important functions ranging from energy metabolism, molting, osmoregulation to re...
