Isolation of the neuropeptide pGlu-Gly-Arg-Phe-amide from the pennatulid Renilla köllikeri

Research output: Contribution to journalJournal articleResearchpeer-review

By using a radioimmunoassay for the sequence Arg-Phe-amide, the peptide pGlu-Gly-Arg-Phe-amide was isolated from the pennatulid Renilla köllikeri and sequenced. This peptide is a neuropeptide and is produced in high amounts in Renilla tissue (10 nmol g wet wt).
