ELH Aplysia Californica Recombinant Protein

Function: ELH acts as a neurotransmitter locally, upon neurons of the abdominal ganglion and as a hormone by diffusing into the circulating hemolymph and modulating the activity of other organs. It specifically causes contraction of smooth muscle in the ovotestis and expulsion of the egg string.Alpha-BCP decreases the activity of a cluster of neurons in the left upper quadrant of the abdominal ganglion.Beta-BCP specifically excites 2 neurons, L1 and R1, in the abdominal ganglion.

Subcellular location: Secreted.

Tissue specificity: Bag cell neurons.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the molluscan ELH family.
