Immunochemical detection of the crustacean cardioactive peptide in the cephalic ganglia of cockroaches (Blattodea: Blattidae)
In insects, the crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is involved mainly in the regulation of ecdysis and is both a hormone secreted into the haemolymph and a neuromodulator or neurotransmitter in the nervous system. However, this peptide has only been recorded in the brains of a few species of ins...
