Isolation and amino acid sequence analysis of a 4,000-dalton dynorphin from porcine pituitary

Creators: Fischli, Walter; Goldstein, Avram; Hunkapiller, Michael W.; Hood, Leroy E.

Abstract

A 4,000-dalton dynorphin was isolated from porcine pituitary. It has 32 amino acids (Mr = 3,986), with the previously described heptadecapeptide (now called dynorphin A) at its amino terminus and a related tridecapeptide, dynorphin B, at its carboxyl terminus. The two peptides are separated by the "processing signal" Lys-Arg.
