CCHa2-R |
CCHamide-1 receptor |
Apelin (42-77) |
||
This Drosophila melanogaster peptide (SCLEYGHSCWGAHamide) is encoded by gene CG14358. The peptide is found also in other arthropods. The CCHamide-1 preproprotein is 182 amino acid residues long and contains one form of CCHamide-1 (Ida et al, 2012). CCHamide-1 is considered a brain-gut peptide and has been shown to be expressed predominantly in the brain and midgut (Reiher et al, 2011).
The peptide utilizes two G-protein-coupled receptors encoded by genes CG14593, termed CCHa2-R [CCHamide-2 receptor], and CG30106, termed CCHa1-R
