We report here the presence of a bioactive compound in the secretion of the accessory salivary glands (ASGs) of Nucella lapillus. We have purified the compound using HPLC and identified it as serotonin by mass spectrometry, UV spectroscopy, HPLC and capillary electrophoresis. Serotonin was not found in the secretions of the acinous salivary glands or the hypobranchial gland. The amount of serotonin in the secretion of the ASGs does not show seasonal or regional variation.
我们在此报告，在滨螺的副唾液腺（ASGs）分泌物中存在一种生物活性化合物。我们使用高效液相色谱法（HPLC）纯化了该化合物，并通过质谱、紫外光谱、高效液相色谱法和毛细管电泳将其鉴定为血清素。在腺泡唾液腺或鳃下腺的分泌物中未发现血清素。副唾液腺分泌物中的血清素含量未表现出季节性或区域性变化。
