Isolation and amino acid sequence of a molt-inhibiting hormone from the American crayfish, Procambarus clarkii.
A molt-inhibiting hormone (Prc-MIH) was isolated from the sinus glands of the American crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, and its amino acid sequence was determined. It comprised 75 amino acid residues and had an amidated carboxyl terminus. The amino acid sequence was much more similar to MIH of the shore crab (Cam-MIH) than to MIH of the American lobster (Hoa-MIH).
