Purification and amino acid composition of a peptide with molt-inhibiting activity from the lobster, Homarus americanus.

E S Chang, M J Bruce, R W Newcomb.   

Abstract

A peptide was isolated and purified from sinus glands of the lobster, Homarus americanus, that was able to decrease circulating titers of ecdysteroids and increase the molt interval of eyestalk-ablated juvenile lobsters. This molt-inhibiting activity was demonstrated to consist of two very closely related peptides by means of high-performance liquid chromatography and gel electrophoresis. By means of amino acid analyses, a molecular weight of approximately 8700 was obtained.
