[i] (Location) cytological location determined directly or inferred from the location of the sequenced genomic clones. (EST) expressed sequence tag clone. (Precursor) known or deduced length of the prepropeptide. (Molecularly cloned), gene identification verified by cDNA (excluding ESTs) and/or in situ hybridization. (ND) not determined. (Related sequence(s)/evidence for gene) existence of neuropeptide gene inferred from peptide sequences fromDrosophila or other arthropods, physiological assays, and/or immunocytochemical data. An additional predicted neuropeptide gene (IFa, Vanden Broeck 2001) lacks structural features.
