Notes
Crustacean cardioactive peptide, free acid is a highly conserved, amidated cyclic nonapeptide, first isolated from the pericardial organs of the shore crab Carcinus maenas, where it has a role in regulating heartbeat; Crustacean cardioactive peptide, free acid also modulates the neuronal activity in other arthropods.
