Neuropeptides are widely distributed in vertebrates and invertebrates,regulating a variety of physiological activities in the organisms,such as metabolism,feeding and reproduction.In this study,to explore the function of neuropeptide LFRFamide in Sepia pharaonis,the full-length cDNA of LFRFamide-like gene(named SpLFRFL,MG869822.1)was identified with rapid amplification of cDNA ends(RACE)method.The sequence of SpLFRFL was 860 bp in length and encoded 188 amino acids containing 4 different ma-ture peptides:1 copy of PHTPFRFamide,NSLFRFamide,TIFRFamide,and 3 copies of GNLFRFamide.Multiple alignment and phy-logenetic analysis results showed that SpLFRFL shared high identity with LFRFamides of Sepia officinalis and Sepiella japonica and had the closest relationship with them.Through quantitative Real-time PCR(qRT-PCR),it was found that the SpLFRFL gene was high-ly expressed in the optic lobe and brain at three different stages during gonad development in both genders.Moreover,the four ma-ture peptides at a concentration of 0.01 μmol L-1 could inhibit the protein synthesis in the Chinese hamster ovary cell strain-K1(CHO-Kl)induced by SpGnRH.These data suggest that SpLFRFL might be involved in the development and reproduction of SS.pharaonis.The results can contribute to future studies on neuropeptide evolution and function and benefit the cuttlefish farming.
