3 páginas, 1 figura.The current hypothesis concerning NPY family evolution supports the theory of duplication of an ancestral gene to generate two independent genes, NPY and PYY/PP. The latter underwent a second duplication giving rise to PYY and PP genes, presumably at the time of the appearance of the tetrapod lineage. In turn, PYY has been proposed to have diverged from PY in the acantomorph lineage. In addition, a new copy of PYY known as seminalplasmin has been found to be expressed in bull semen.This work was supported by a CICYT Project, Mar 95-1888-C03-01, and a grant from the Balaguer-Gonel Foundation to JMCR.
