Molecular cloning of crustacean pigment dispersing hormone precursor

The cDNA encoding the precursor of the pigment dispersing hormone (PDH) of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, was isolated and sequenced. The precursor consists of a putative 22 amino acid signal peptide, a putative 33 residue peptide of unknown function, and the 18 amino acid mature PDH, followed by...

Summary:The cDNA encoding the precursor of the pigment dispersing hormone (PDH) of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, was isolated and sequenced. The precursor consists of a putative 22 amino acid signal peptide, a putative 33 residue peptide of unknown function, and the 18 amino acid mature PDH, followed by a Gly residue which serves as a possible amide donor. The deduced mature PDH amino acid sequence is identical to those of Uca pugilator and Cancer magister, previously determined by Edman degradation.
