Porcine pituitary dynorphin: complete amino acid sequence of the biologically active heptadecapeptide
Abstract
The full primary structure of the very potent opioid peptide dynorphin, from porcine pituitary, has been determined. It is (H)Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu-Arg-Arg-Ile-Arg-Pro-Lys-Leu-Lys-Trp-Asp-Asn-Gln(OH). The synthetic peptide with this sequence behaves identically to natural dynorphin in a number of ways, and it has the same potency in the guinea pig ileum myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle bioassay. The potency is accounted for by the first 13 residues.
