Amino acid sequences of prePOMC from birds and reptiles. Amino acid residues in reptile POMC that are identical to those in ostrich POMC are shaded. Filled amino acid residues indicate the processing sites of snake and alligator POMCs determined based on the peptides identified by mass spectrometry and peptide analysis (11, 12). Positions of the amino acid are indicated on the right side.
