What Does CCAP Stand For?
CCAP stands for Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide
CCAP, or Crustacean Cardioactive Peptide, is a neuropeptide found in various crustaceans that plays a crucial role in regulating cardiac function and other physiological processes. It is known for its ability to increase heart rate and enhance cardiac output, contributing to the overall metabolic regulation in these organisms. CCAP is significant in studies of neurobiology and comparative physiology, providing insights into the evolution of cardiac control mechanisms across different species.
