Sequence analysis and alignment of naturally-occurring α-MSH variants. (a) Clustal Omega alignment of four α-MSH variants in different species with human sequence as reference (dotted red box). Percentage Identity color scheme. The region demarcated by green bars indicates the 13-amino-acid α-MSH peptide. (b) Table listing the accession number of each α-MSH form used in the melanophore assay, including aliases for each species. The α-MSH sequences indicate the sequence of generated peptides; red letters indicate amino acid variations within the α-MSH peptide, while blue represents the HFRW motif.
