S1 and S2 were the first neuropeptides to be identified in a species belonging to the phylum Echinodermata and therefore it was of interest to investigate the physiological roles of these neuropeptides in starfish. To facilitate investigation of the physiological roles of S1 and S2, antibodies to ...
The population of the ochre sea star has been seriously affected by a wasting disease. The disorder causes the animal’s body to disintegrate into a goo.
