  • Title: Isolation, primary structure and bioactivity of schistoflrf-amide, a FMRF-amide-like neuropeptide from the locust, Schistocerca gregaria.
    Author: Robb S, Packman LC, Evans PD.
    Journal: Biochem Biophys Res Commun; 1989 Apr 28; 160(2):850-6. PubMed ID: 2719702.
    Abstract:
    We have isolated a neuropeptide, related to the Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 family, from the thoracic nervous system of the locust, Schistocerca gregaria, using a purification system based on the radioimmunoassay of high pressure liquid chromatography fractions. The primary sequence of this locust peptide is Pro-Asp-Val-Asp-His-Val-Phe-Leu-Arg-Phe-NH2. The bioactivities of the native and synthetic neuropeptide are identical in both the locust heart and hindleg extensor-tibiae muscle bioassays.
