Alignment of agouti-signaling protein (asip) and agouti-related protein (agrp) amino acid sequences.

<p>Dashes were introduced to improve alignment. Orange boxes indicate the last residue of the predicted signal peptide. Black boxes show amino acid residues conserved in all sequences. Green boxes show residues only conserved in asip1 sequences. Red boxes indicate residues only conserved in agrp1 sequences. Yellow boxes indicate basic residues before cysteine domain. Blue boxes show residues of the short tail present in all agrp sequences. Purple boxes indicate putative glycosilation sites. Lines joining cysteine residues indicate putative disulfide bonds forming the cysteine domain. Arrow shows conserved motif for agrp post-transcriptional processing.
