abbr. SMP. This neuropeptide, FGKGGAYDPLSAGFTD, has been identified in the starfish Patiria pectinifera. The precursor, as deduced from the cDNA, contains 12 copies of SMP as well as 3 peptides (7 copies in total) that are structurally related to SMP. Starfish myorelaxant peptide belongs to a bilaterian family of neuropeptides that include molluscan pedal peptides and arthropodan orcokinins. Starfish myorelaxant peptide acts as a muscle relaxant in starfish. Highest expression is seen in the radial nerve cords and lower expression levels in a range of neuromuscular tissues, including the apical muscle, tube feet and cardiac stomach. Consistent with these findings, SMP
