Hemocyanins are copper-containing respiratory proteins of the Arthropoda that have so far been thoroughly investigated only in the Chelicerata and the Crustacea but have remained unstudied until now in the Myriapoda. Here we report the first sequence of a myriapod hemocyanin.

Four groups of arthropodsthe centipedes, millipedes, pauropods, and symphylansshare a number of common features such as a similar body plan consisting of a head followed by an elongate trunk with many legs. The four groups also exhibit marked differences.
Myriapoda (many-limbs) -- along with their more numerous relatives the insects, the arachnids, and the crustaceans -- are in the phylum Arthropoda (joint-limbs). Of at least a million identified species of arthropods, approximately 13,000 are myriapods.
