A 56 kDa neuropeptide was isolated from Drosophila brains through a combination of chromatograph and 2-D gel analysis. The purified peptide was excised from 2-D gel, trypsinated, and subjected to MALDI-TOF analysis and partial amino acid sequencing. The identity and putative function of the 56 kDa neuropeptide will be discussed.
