Identification of Pinctata fucata and Crassostrea gigas neuropeptides. Comparative sequence alignment and schematic representation of precursors for P. fucata (Pfu) and C. gigas (Cgi). Full-length precursor sequences were identified in both for achatin, allatotropin, CCK/SK and conopressin, elevenin, NKY, NPF/Y and LFRFa, showing high amino acid identity within bioactive peptides. A sequence logo is shown above alignments, where the height of each letter is proportional to the observed frequency of the corresponding amino acid in the alignment column.
