pedal peptide

Pedal peptide (PP) and orcokinin (OK) are related neuropeptides that were discovered in protostomian invertebrates (mollusks… Expand

Neuropeptides that act as muscle relaxants have been identified in chordates and protostomian invertebrates but little is known… Expand

Prior work in the nudibranch Tritonia diomedea indicated that certain identifiable pedal ganglion neurons (Pd5 and 6) innervating… Expand

Neuropeptides were characterized in two similar identified neurons termed pedal 5 and 6 (Pd5 and Pd6). Both neurons appear white… Expand

Pedal peptide (Pep) is a modulatory neuropeptide that is predominantly synthesized in a group of neurons on the dorsal surfaces… Expand

Pedal peptide (Pep) is a 15-amino-acid neuropeptide that is localized within the Aplysia central nervous system (CNS… Expand

Pedal peptide (Pep) is a very abundant neuropeptide in Aplysia. A radioimmunoassay (RIA) was developed to quantify Pep-like… Expand

We report the identification of a novel neuropeptide from Aplysia nervous tissue. The peptide was termed Pedal peptide (Pep… Expand

Immunocytology using antisera raised to conjugated pedal peptide (Pep) was used to localize the peptide in the CNS and periphery… Expand
