Sequence and organization of coelacanth neurohypophysial hormone genes: Evolutionary history of the vertebrate neurohypophysial hormone gene locus-4

been substituted (shown above the circle). OT, oxytocin; MT, mesotocin; IT, isotocin; VP, vasopressin; [Lys]VP, lysipressin, VT, vasotocin; ASV, asvatocin; PAI, phasitocin. Protein sequencing has shown that some lungfishes contain mesotocin [9, 10] and some marsupials contain [Phe]vasopressin [46]. They are not shown for the sake of clarity.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Sequence and organization of coelacanth neurohypophysial hormone genes: Evolutionary history of the vertebrate neurohypophysial hormone gene locus"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/8/93</p><p>BMC Evolutionary Biology 2008;8():93-93.</p><p>Published online 26 Mar 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2315648.</p><p>
