Discovery and functional characterisation of a luqin-type neuropeptide signalling system in a deuterostome

Abstract Neuropeptides are diverse and evolutionarily ancient regulators of physiological/behavioural processes in animals. Here we have investigated the evolution and comparative physiology of luqin-type neuropeptide signalling, which has been characterised previously in protostomian invertebrates....
