| Abstrakt: |
We have isolated a peptide from brains and corpora cardiaca of Locusta migratoria which is immunologically related to the diuretic hormone of Manduca sexta. We determined its structure as a 46 amino acid linear peptide with 43-50% identity to the M. sexta hormone. Moreover, we showed that the new peptide functions as a diuretic hormone in L. migratoria, stimulating urine production by Malpighian tubules and elevating levels of cAMP in tubules. |
