Summary of identified genes encoding putative full-length or partial-length neuropeptide precursors from the Pinctada fucata and Crassostrea gigas genome, and transcriptome databases . For each neuropeptide we highlight whether a cDNA clone, a full-length ORF sequence, and MS evidence are available. We also indicate the numbers of peptides that are cleaved from the mature neuropeptide precursor, if they are amidated, acetylated, or pyroglutaminated peptides, and if a leader signal peptide is encoded.
