| Basic description
|
The crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a potent cardioexcitatory substance, originally identified in the pericardial organs of the shore crab, Carcinus means. It also modulates the neuronal activity in other arthropods. Crustacean cardioactive peptide (CCAP) is a modulator of oviduct contractions in Locusta migratoria.
