Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide

Description:

Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide (CCAP) is a neuropeptide originally isolated from the nervous system of crustaceans, particularly known for its role in modulating cardiac function. It is characterized by a relatively small peptide structure, typically consisting of around 30 amino acids, which contributes to its biological activity. CCAP is recognized for its ability to influence heart rate and contraction strength in crustaceans, acting as a potent cardioactive agent. The peptide is also involved in various physiological processes, including the regulation of locomotion and feeding behaviors. Its mechanism of action primarily involves interaction with specific receptors, leading to alterations in intracellular signaling pathways. CCAP has garnered interest in both neurobiology and pharmacology due to its potential applications in understanding cardiac function and developing therapeutic agents. The CAS number 107090-96-0 uniquely identifies this peptide in chemical databases, facilitating research and study in various scientific fields. Overall, CCAP exemplifies the intricate relationship between neuropeptides and physiological regulation in crustaceans.
