Five isoforms of tachykinin-related peptides (TRPs), designated LemTRP-1-5, have been identified in the midgut of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae. These peptides have a conserved C-terminus hexapeptide (GFX 1 GX 2 Ramide; X 1 and X 2 are variable residues) and variable N-termini. Here, we address t
Proline-specific dipeptidyl peptidase (DPP IV) is an established enzyme known to degrade neuropeptides and peptide hormones in vertebrate tissues. DPP IV cleaves peptides at the Pro2 residue. Because several neuropeptides of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae, such as LemTRP-1 (APSGFLGVRamide), are po
Five individual fractions from bovine hypothalamic extract, displaying coronary constrictory activity, were isolated and sequenced. All of them belong to the hemorphin group of hemoglobin-derived peptides. These peptides bind calmodulin and activate calmodulindependent enzymes. The relationship of i
