Using a radioimmunoassay against the C-terminal sequence Arg-Pro-NH2 (RPamide) we have isolated the neuropeptide <Glu-Asn-Phe-His-Leu-Arg-Pro-NH2 (Antho-RPamide II) from extracts of the sea anemone Anthopleura elegantissima. Addition of low concentrations of Antho-RPamide II to a tentacle preparation of sea anemones inhibited the spontaneous, rhythmic contractions, suggesting that the peptide is a neurotransmitter or neuromodulator.
我们使用针对C末端序列精氨酸 - 脯氨酸 - 氨基(RPamide)的放射免疫分析法,从海葵优美列指海葵(Anthopleura elegantissima)的提取物中分离出了神经肽<谷氨酸 - 天冬酰胺 - 苯丙氨酸 - 组氨酸 - 亮氨酸 - 精氨酸 - 脯氨酸 - 氨基(Antho - RPamide II)。向海葵触手制剂中添加低浓度的Antho - RPamide II会抑制自发的节律性收缩,这表明该肽是一种神经递质或神经调节剂。
