A possible molecular ancestor for mollusk APGWamide, insect adipokinetic hormone, and crustacean red pigment concentrating hormone.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jun 2002

Martínez-Pérez Francisco, Becerra Arturo, Valdés Jesús, Zinker Samuel, Aréchiga Hugo

Abstract excerpt

Precursor structures of various members of the neuropeptide family adipokinetic hormone/red pigment concentrating hormone (AKH/RPCH) of mandibular arthropods and the APGWamide family of mollusks were compared. Amino acid alignments showed a common overall architecture (signal peptide, active peptide, related peptide), with a similar alpha helix-random coil secondary structure. DNA sequence alignments revealed...
