Eh | Eclosion hormone (Eh) encodes a neurohormone involved in the control of ecdysis. At each ecdysis, the neurohormone is released into the hemolymph where it serves to potentiate the release of the product of ETH through a positive endocrine feedback loop. The product of Eh is also released into the nervous system where it contributes to turning on ecdysis. (97 aa) | ||||
