To elucidate the physiological role of calcitonin (CT) in stingrays (cartilaginous fish), an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system using a specific antibody against stingray CT has been developed. Synthetic stingray CT was subcutaneously i

The nucleotide sequence of a sardine preprocalcitonin precursor has been determined from their ultimobranchial glands in the present study. From our analysis of this sequence, we found that sardine procalcitonin was composed of procalcitonin amino-te

All disulfide analogs (types A, B and C) of porcine or human endothelin, a 21-amino acid peptide having two intramolecular disulfide bonds, were synthesized and their retention times on HPLC were compared with that of natural endothelin. One of the a

The aim of the present study was to compare the effects of full-length rat kisspeptin (rKp-52) with C-terminal decapeptide (Kp-10) of rat or human kisspeptin on LH release in intact male rats. Plasma LH profiles were determined by frequent blood samp

The chimeric peptide [Lys(-2)-Arg(-1)]-sarafotoxin-S6b (KR-SRTb) designed from the Lys-2-Arg-1 dipeptide of the endothelin pro-sequence and the sarafotoxin-S6b sequence was synthesized. Its contractile activity was found to be decreased markedly when

Angiotensin I (ANG I) was produced from the incubation of lungfish plasma with homologous kidney extracts. The purified peptide was found to have the sequence of H-Asn-Arg-Val-Tyr-Val-His-Pro-Phe-Thr-Leu-OH, which is homologous for the first eight re

A new natriuretic peptide with 27 amino acid residues has been isolated from cardiac ventricles of the bullfrog, Rana catesbeiana. Since this ventricular peptide had high sequence identity to B-type (brain) natriuretic peptide (BNP), especially to ch
