Neuropeptide
NPID NP00895
Name Cardioactive peptide
Organism Manduca sexta
NCBI Taxa ID 7130
Tissue Specificity Abdominal perivisceral organ; major neurohemal release site. Expressed in 116 neurons in post-embryonic central nervous system. Nine pairs of cells are observed in the brain, 4.5 pairs in the subesophageal ganglion, three pairs in each thoracic ganglion (T1-T3), three pairs in the first abdominal ganglion (A1), five pairs each in the second to sixth abdominal ganglia (A2-A6) and 7.5 pairs in the terminal ganglion. Expressed in every ganglion in each post-embryonic stage, except in the thoracic ganglia of first- and second-instar larvae. Colocalizes with CAP2b in median neurosecretory cells during the last larval instar through to adults.
