Abstract
⺠The identification of a NLP-12-like peptide precursor gene in Strongyloides ratti. ⺠RPLQFamide is the essential pharmacophore in Caenorhabditis elegans NLP-12b. ⺠This motif is perfectly conserved between free-living and parasitic nematodes. ⺠Arg-, Leu- and Phe-residues are critical for high-affinity receptor binding.
