Orcomyotropin (FDAFTTGFamide) has been identified in extracts of hindguts of the crayfish Orconectes limosus using an isolated hindgut contractility bioassay (Dircksen et al, 2000). The peptide shows strong inotropic actions on crayfish hindguts and shows higher potency than Orcokinin and Val13-orkoninin.
Orcomyotropin and Orcomyotropin-related peptides have been found also in other crustacean species, including the crayfish Procambarus clarkii (Skiebe et al, 2003; Dickinson et al, 2009), the crab Cancer borealis (Billimoria et al, 2005), the Maine lobster, Homarus americanus (Fu
