Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a highly conserved, amidated cyclic nonapeptide with the primary structure PFCNAFTGC-NH2 (ProPheCysAsnAlaPheTyrGlyCys-NH2) and a disulfide bridge between Cys3 and Cys9. It is found in crustaceans and insects where

Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Acetate (CCAP acetate) is is the most conserved and ubiquitous neuropeptide in arthropods and is produced in insects by a network of conserved neurons in the ventral nerve cord.Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide Acetate is a cyclic amidated natriuretic peptide hormone commonly found in insects, crustaceans and other arthropods.

Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a nine-amino-acid insect cardioregulatory peptide, initially isolated from Manduca sexta (the tobacco hawkmoth). It contains cysteines at positions 3 and 9 that form a disulfide bridge, and its carboxyl-terminus is amidated [1].
