The eye lens remains transparent because of soluble lens proteins known as crystallins. For years γ-crystallins have been known as the main lens proteins in lower vertebrates such as fish and amphibians. The unique growth features of the lens render

Protein distribution patterns across eye lenses from the Asiatic toad Bufo gargarizans were investigated and individual crystallin classes characterised. Special fractionation that follows the growth mode of the lens was used to yield nine fractions

Studies conducted on amphibian skin secretions over the past 40 years have isolated and identified huge arrays of bioactive peptides, many of which have demonstrated potent anti-microbial activity. Such peptides are attracting increasing attention du

Skin secretions of Rana saharica were evaluated for the isolation and characterization of novel insulinotropic peptides. Crude secretions obtained from young adult frogs by mild electrical stimulation of the dorsal skin surface were purified by rever

Naturally occurring insulinotropic peptides were isolated from the skin secretions of Rana pipiens frogs. Crude secretions (50 mg; 5-10 frogs) obtained by mild electrical stimulation of the dorsal skin surface were purified by reversed-phase high- pe

We have isolated a novel bradykinin B2-receptor antagonist peptide, kinestatin, from toad (Bombina maxima) defensive skin secretion. Mass spectroscopy established a molecular mass of 931.56 Da and a provisional structure: pGlu-Leu/Ile-Pro-Gly-Leu/Ile

Amphibian defensive skin secretions are complex, species-specific cocktails of biologically active molecules, including many uncharacterized peptides. The study of such secretions for novel peptide discovery is time-limited, as amphibians are in rapi

While structural studies of reptile venom toxins can be achieved using lyophilized venom samples, until now the cloning of precursor cDNAs required sacrifice of the specimen for dissection of the venom glands. Here we describe a simple and rapid tech

The hypothesis that chromogranin A (CgA), a protein of neuroendocrine cell secretory granules, may be a precursor of biologically active peptides, rests on observed activities of peptide fragments largely produced by exogenous protease digestion of t

Two novel bradykinin-related peptides (Ala3,Thr6)-bradykinin and (Val1,Thr3,Thr6)-bradykinin, were identified by a systematic sequencing study of peptides in the defensive skin secretion of the yellow-bellied toad, Bombina variegata. These peptides a
