Torfs et al (2002) have isolated two two neuropeptides from the central nervous system of the white shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei. Pev-SK 1 (AGGSGGVGGEY(SO(3)H)DDY(SO(3)H)GH(L/I)RFamide), and Pev-SK 2 (pQFDEY(SO(3)H)GHMRFamide). These peptides belong to a class of neuropeptides structurally and functionally similar to the vertebrate brain-gut peptides cholecystokinin / gastrin (see: sulfakinins), and both peptides have myotropic activity.
