  1. The numbers of α-glucosidase (GH13) with and without signal peptides for 13 populations of arthropod populations/taxa. Signal peptides are required for an enzyme to function as an extracellular enzyme in the gut lumen, so the presence of a signal peptide signifies that the protein is active or functional [113]
