  • Title: Catch-relaxing peptide isolated from Mytilus pedal ganglia.
    Author: Hirata T, Kubota I, Takabatake I, Kawahara A, Shimamoto N, Muneoka Y.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1987 Oct 06; 422(2):374-6. PubMed ID: 3676797.
    Abstract:
    A peptide that relaxes catch tension of the anterior byssus retractor muscle of Mytilus edulis was purified from pedal ganglion extracts of the mussel. Its primary structure was determined to be H-Ala-Met-Pro-Met-Leu-Arg-Leu-NH2. This peptide was found to have not only catch-relaxing action on the byssus retractor muscle but also modulatory actions on contractions in various molluscan muscles.
