Sequence alignment of T. molitor ADF, T. molitor cuticle protein CAA03880 (40 C-terminal residues only of 293 residue protein), and rabbit (r) and human (h) big endothelin I, aligned using clustal w. v. 1.8 on sequences from the Swiss-Prot database. Identical residues are boxed. Endothelin I is cleaved by endothelin converting enzyme at the W–V bond; the homology to T. molitor ADF occurs in the inactive part of big endothelin I, on the C-terminal side of the cleavage site.
