Primary Structure of the Precursor for the Sea Anemone Neuropeptide Antho-RFamide (<Glu-Gly-Arg-Phe-NH2)

Neuropeptides containing the carboxyl-terminal sequence Arg-Phe-NH2are found throughout the animal kingdom and are important substances mediating neuronal communication. Here, we have cloned the cDNA coding for the precursor protein of the sea anemone neuropeptide (Antho-RF amide)
