Summary

The Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH) is one of the best known crustacean neuropeptides, with a potent hyperglycemic action. CHH originates in the neurosecretory perikarya of the eyestalk ganglia. Here we describe the cDNA cloning approach for the complete coding region of a prepro CHH. A cDNA library of X- organ tissue of Carduus maenas was established and screening of this library with an oligonucleotide probe yielded one positive clone. Sequencing data of the clone revealed a precursor structure consisting of a putative 26 amino acid signal peptide, a 38 amino acid peptide of unknown function (peptide C) and the 72 amino acid CHH.
