Crustacean neurohormone family

In molecular biology, the crustacean neurohormone family of proteins is a family of neuropeptides expressed by arthropods. The family includes the following types of neurohormones:
These neurohormones are peptides of 70 to 80 amino acid residues which are processed from larger precursors. They contain six conserved cysteines that are involved in disulfide bonds.
