Figure 1. Diagram showing GnRH-II sequences from deuterostomes. All vertebrate GnRH-II peptides contain the pEHxxH sequence proposed to be the copper-binding site. The site is invariant in vertebrates and is not observed in deuterostome invertebrates such as the tunicates. The peptides are all amidated at the C-terminus, denoted by an ‘a’ in the primary sequence.
