Article Synopsis
- Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) regulates key physiological functions in crabs, including carbohydrate metabolism, molting, and ion/water transport.
- Four isoforms of CHH (EG-CHH-A, -B, -C, -D) were identified from the eyestalk ganglia of the Gecarcinus lateralis crab, displaying minor variations in their genetic structure and nearly identical hormone sequences.
- A fifth isoform, PO-CHH, shares similarities with CHH found in green crabs but shows differences in genetic coding, indicating that CHH isoforms may arise from alternative splicing of two distinct CHH genes.
