Discovery of a second SALMFamide gene in the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus reveals that L-type and F-type SALMFamide neuropeptides coexist in an echinoderm species
{{output}}
The SALMFamides are a family of neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants in the phylum Echinodermata. Two types of SALMFamides have been identified in echinoderms: firstly, the prototypical L-type SALMFamide peptides with the C-terminal sequence Leu-X-Phe-NH... ...
