摘要：
Putative moult-inhibiting hormone (MIH) from sinus glands of the edible crab Cancer pagurus was characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography, followed by fractional bioassay (inhibition of ecdysteroid synthesis by Y-organs) and immunoassay (using antisera raised against Carcinus MIH). This peptide was fully sequenced by automated Edman degradation of endoproteinase-derived fragments. C. pagurus MIH is a 78 residue peptide (M(r) 9194), with free N- and C-termini and three intrachain disulphide bridges. Comparison with previously published MIH sequences confirms a high degree of sequence identity (c. 80%), supporting the view that brachyurans (crabs), possess distinct, structurally similar MIH neuropeptides.
