Fig. 1.

Deduced amino acid sequence of a Homarus americanus C-AST-like peptide-containing prepro-hormone. Accession numbers of the ESTs from which the prepro-hormone was predicted are shown on the left with the deduced amino acid sequences of the precursor protein shown on the right. Signal peptides (when present) are shown in grey, with prohormone convertase cleavage loci shown in black. The C-AST-like peptide isoform is shown in red, with an additional precursor-related peptide shown in blue. Asterisks indicate the position of the stop codon.
