Amino acids in bold are identical to those in the sequence of the cockroach Dippu-DH₃₁. The sequences of A. mellifera DH₃₁(Apime-DH₃₁) and R. prolixus DH₃₁(Rhopr-DH₃₁) are identical with Dippu-DH₃₁, and the sequence of A. aegypti DH₃₁(Aedae-DH₃₁) is identical with that of Anopheles gambiae (Anoga-DH₃₁). Forpo, F. polyctena; Trica, T. castaneum; Bommo, B. mori; Drome, D. melanogaster
