主 题:ranamargarin Rana margaratae amphibian skin HPLC sequence analysis.
摘 要:A new tetradecapeptide, ranamargarin, has been isolated by Sep-Pak C_(18) and HPLC from methanol extracts of the skin of the Chinese frogRana margaratae. The sequence of the peptide is: Asp-Asp-Ala-Ser-Asp-Arg-Ala-Lys-Lys-Phe-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Met-NH_2. This structure has been confirmed by synthesis. The peptide is the largest among the amphibian tachykinins and its N-terminal amino acids are quite different from those of the other tachykinins. The formation of the sulfoxide and peak-splitting of ranamargarin during purification procedures are briefly discussed.
