AbstractA cDNA encoding the complete precursor of the putative molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) of the shore crab, Carcinus maenas, was isolated and sequenced. The precursor consists of a putative 35 amino acid signal peptide and the 78 amino acid mature MIH. The deduced MIH amino acid sequence is in complete agreement with the sequence previously determined by Edman degradation. In situ hybridization revealed MIH-expression in a subpopulation of large neurosecretory perikarya of the medulla terminalis X-organ in the eyestalk
