Egg Laying Hormone, scientifically termed Molluscan Egg-Laying Hormone, is a neuropeptide primarily isolated from the nervous system of gastropods like Lymnaea stagnalis. It regulates ovarian maturation and egg-laying behaviors in mollusks. The compound is typically synthesized via solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to ensure high purity for research. Specific molecular formula and CAS registry number remain undefined in general commercial catalogs due to its nature as a research reagent rather than a bulk commodity chemical.
