Figure 5. Comparison of amino acid sequences of oxytocin family hormone precursors in vertebrates. The alignment was generated by ClustalX. Amino acid residues conserved in all vertebrates are marked with an asterisk. X. tropicalis, Xenopus tropicalis; and T. scyllium, Triakis scyllium. OT, oxytocin; MT, mesotocin; IT, isotocin; ASV, asvatocin and PAI, phasitocin. Accession numbers of sequences used in the alignment: NP_000906.1 (human OT), BAA24027.1 (lungfish [Phe2]MT), O42493 (fugu IT), BAD27478.1 (T. scyllium phasitocin) and BAD27477.1 (T. scyllium asvatocin). Sequences for Xenopus tropicalis and coelacanth were generated in a previous study [8] while the sequence for elephant shark (eshark) was generated in this study.
