Transcriptional and Translational Analysis of the Expression of CHH, MIH, and GIH in PmLyO-Sf9 Cell Line Towards Developing a Novel In Vitro Model for Shrimp Endocrinology.

Shrimp maturation is governed by the hormones secreted by neurosecretory structures in the eyestalk known as X-organ sinus gland complex (XOSG). The X-organ consists of a cluster of neurosecretory cells responsible for synthesizing crustacean hyperglycemic family hormones, including crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH), molt inhibiting hormone (MIH), and gonad inhibiting hormone (GIH). CHH family neuropeptides have gained attention for three decades due to their endocrinological role in aquaculture.
