Molecular biological studies on neuropeptides of the adipokinetic hormone/red pigment-concentrating hormone family and the neuroparsin family in the arthropod sister groups of insects and crustaceans

Includes abstract. === Includes bibliographical references. === This study describes the identification of three novel precursor transcripts which includes the adipokinetic hormone (AKH) / red pigment-concentrating hormone (RPCH) and the neuroparsin (NP) from the South African spiny lobster, Jasus l...
