  • Title: Scyliorhinin I and II: two novel tachykinins from dogfish gut.
    Author: Conlon JM, Deacon CF, O'Toole L, Thim L.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1986 May 05; 200(1):111-6. PubMed ID: 2422058.
    Abstract:
    Two peptides with tachykinin-like ability to contract longitudinal muscle from the guinea pig ileum were isolated from the intestine of the common dogfish, Scyliorhinus caniculus. The amino acid sequence of scyliorhinin I was established as Ala-Lys-Phe-Asp-Lys-Phe-Tyr-Gly-Leu-Met-NH2 and this peptide cross-reacted with antisera directed against the C-terminal region fo substance P. The amino acid sequence of scyliorhinin II was established as Ser-Pro-Ser-Asn-Ser-Lys-Cys-Pro-Asp-Gly-Pro-Asp-Cys-Phe-Val-Gly-Leu-Met- NH2 and this peptide cross-reacted with antisera directed against the C-terminal region of neurokinin A. The mammalian peptides substance P and neurokinin A were absent from the dogfish intestinal tissue.
