From: Characterization of the neurohypophysial hormone gene loci in elephant shark and the Japanese lamprey: origin of the vertebrate neurohypophysial hormone genes

Figure 2

The neurohypophysial gene locus in the elephant shark (A) and Japanese lamprey (B). The BACs used for generating the sequences are shown below. Arrows represent genes and indicate the direction of transcription. Coloured vertical lines represent repetitive sequences. VT, vasotocin gene; OT, oxytocin gene; ProSAPiP1, proline rich synapse associated protein interacting protein 1; UBOX5, U-box domain containing 5; GNRH2, gonadotropin-releasing hormone 2; PTPRA, protein tyrosine phosphatase, receptor type, A.
