crustacean cardioactive peptide

Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide (CCAP) is a highly conserved modified cyclic nonapeptide with a primary structure of PFCNAFTGC-NH2, a disulfide bridge between Cys3 and Cys9, which acts as a cardiac gas pedal, neuropeptide transmitter, and hormone with cardiac, adipotropic hormone, and metabolic regulatory effects, reproductive system.

Crustacean cardioactive peptide，Cyclic (CCAP) is a nine-amino-acid insect cardioregulatory peptide, initially isolated from Manduca sexta (the tobacco hawkmoth). It contains cysteines at positions 3 and 9 that form a disulfide bridge, and its carboxyl-terminus is amidated [1].

Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Acetate (CCAP acetate) is is the most conserved and ubiquitous neuropeptide in arthropods and is produced in insects by a network of conserved neurons in the ventral nerve cord.Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Acetate is a cyclic amidated natriuretic peptide hormone commonly found in insects, crustaceans and other arthropods.
