APGWamide is a neuropeptide—a small peptide composed of four amino acids (Ala–Pro–Gly–Trp–NH₂)—believed to act as a Penis Morphogenic Factor (PMF) in certain mollusks (like snails). It helps trigger the initial growth of male accessory sex organs in these species, often in response to androgenic steroids NovoPro Bioscience.
It is highly conserved across various mollusks and plays important roles in mating behavior, muscle activity, and reproductive organ development, especially noted under exposure to environmental compounds like tributyltin NovoPro Bioscience.
Research also shows that APGWamide (and related peptides) are found primarily in the central nervous system of various mollusks such as scallops, gastropods, and cephalopods, indicating a role as a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator PubMed+1.
In more recent studies (2023), scientists have identified three G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) specifically for APGWamide in the marine mollusk Aplysia californica, deepening our understanding of its signaling system PubMed.
