Figure 1From: Antibodies against conserved amidated neuropeptide epitopes enrich the comparative neurobiology toolboxTwo amino-acid amidated motifs are conserved in neuropeptides across phyla. Multiple sequence alignment of mature neuropeptides with a conserved C-terminus for DLamides (A), FVamides (B), FLamides (D), GWamides (D) and RYamides (E) from annelids (Platynereis, Capitella, Helobdella), molluscs (Lottia), platyhelminthes (Schmidtea, Macrostomum), nematodes (Caenorhabditis), arthropods (Cherax, Cancer, Drosophila, Apis) and cnidarians (Podocoryne, Hydractinia). The conserved C-termini that were used for antibody production are highlighted in black. RPCH, red pigment concentrating hormone; AKH, adipokinetic hormone.Back to article page
