Abstract
⺠A member of a novel amphibian myotropic peptide family, polypedarelaxin 1, was purified from the tree frog, Polypedates pingbianensis. âºÂ Polypedarelaxin 1 does not contain conserved structural motifs of other amphibian myotropic peptides. ⺠The signal peptide of polypedarelaxin 1 shows high sequence identity to that of other amphibian skin defensive peptides. ⺠Polypedarelaxin 1 was only found to exert contractile activity on isolated rat ileum smooth muscle.
