Abstract
A molt-inhibiting hormone (Prc-MIH) was isolated from the sinus glands of the American crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, and its amino acid seq uence was determined. It comprised 75 amino acid residues and had an a midated carboxyl terminus. The amino acid sequence was much more simil ar to MIH of the shore crab (Cam-MIH) than to MIH of the American lobs ter (Hoa-MIH).
