  1. *Ten (D. mojavensis), 11 (D. ananassae), 12 (D. willistoni), 14 (D. erecta), 17 (D. grimshawi), 13 (all other species). †The processed forms sNPF-14-11 and sNPF-212-19 are typically sequence-identical. ‡Three SKs are predicted from the precursor. Only two have so far been biochemically demonstrated.
