Description

Description: The crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a potent cardioexcitatory substance, originally identified in the pericardial organs of the shore crab, Carcinus means. It also modulates the neuronal activity in other arthropods. A CCAP-related new peptide family, the molluscan CCAP (M-CCAP) has been isolated and characterized from the snail Helix pomatia (Muneoka et al. 1994). Structural differences between the crustacean CCAP and the molluscan peptides are restricted only to the amidatedend of the molecules. NOTICE The anti-CCAP antiserum, generated against CCAP coupled to glutaraldehyde/polylysine (1:4), was tested for cross-reactivity using ELISA. No coss-reactivity was observed against 10 µg/ml of glutaraldehyde/polylysine conjugates of perisulfakinin, locustatachykinin II, FMRFamide, proctolin, adipokinetic hormone I, leucomyosuppressin, corazonin and the allatostatines, Dip-AST 2, Dip-AST 7, and Dip-AST 8.
