The blanching hormone of the prawn, Pandalus borealis, is pGlu-Leu-Asn-Phe-Ser-Pro-Gly-Trp-NH(2). Its structure was settled by a combination of mass spectrometry and Edman-dansyl analysis of a thermolysin fragment. Confirmation of the structure was obtained by chemical synthesis from amino acids. This neurosecreted hormone is active in picogram amounts when tested in shrimps.
