The tachykinin (TK) and tachykinin-related peptide (TKRP) family represent one of the largest peptide families in the animal kingdom and exert their actions via a subfamily of structurally related G-protein-coupled receptors. In this study, we have i

Two genes of the oxytocin/vasopressin superfamily in the cephalopod Octopus vulgaris, cephalotocin (CT) and octopressin (OP), lack introns and consist of a single exon in their protein-coding regions, which is unlike the 2 intron-3 exon structures in

Two novel tachykinins (OctTK-I: Lys-Pro-Pro-Ser-Ser-Ser-Glu-Phe-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-NH(2) and OctTK-II: Lys-Pro-Pro-Ser-Ser-Ser-Glu-Phe-Val-Gly-Leu-Met-NH(2)) were isolated from the posterior salivary gland of the octopus (Octopus vulgaris) using a contr

The Okinawan sea anemone Phyllodiscus semoni is known to cause cases of severe stinging. We isolated P. semoni toxins 60A and 60B (PsTX-60A and PsTX-60B; ca. 60 kDa) as the major toxins from the isolated nematocysts of this species for the first time

We reported that the common octopus, Octopus vulgaris, in common with vertebrates, possesses two members of the oxytocin/vasopressin superfamily: octopressin (OP) and cephalotocin (CT). This was the first observation of its kind in invertebrates. As

A novel member of the vasopressin/oxytocin superfamily, octopressin (OP), has been isolated from Octopus vulgaris. Since another peptide of this superfamily, cephalotocin (CT), was isolated from the same species [Neurosci. Lett. 134 (1992) 191], Octo

The venomous sea anemone Phyllodiscus semoni causes cases of severe stinging. We isolated Phyllodiscus semoni toxin 20A (PsTX-20A), a hemolytic and lethal polypeptide (20 kDa), from the nematocyst venom of this species for the first time. Furthermore

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is the key peptide in the hypothalamo-hypophysial-gonadal axis, the core of regulation of reproduction in vertebrates. In this study, an octopus peptide with structural features similar to vertebrate GnRHs was is

The deadly box jellyfish (Sea Wasp, Habu-kurage in Japanese) Chiropsalmus quadrigatus Haeckel (Cubozoa) is distributed widely in the tropical Pacific region. In Japan, three fatal cases due to stings from this species have been reported officially. W
