Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Numerous peptides isolated from rat heart atria, including two containing 33 and 73 amino acids, were isolated and shown to exhibit natriuretic activities. Here, we describe the purification and partial amino acid sequence of a 106-residue peptide containing the previously sequenced 33- and 73-amino-acid ANF peptides. The determined sequence is a novel one and is not significantly homologous to any known protein or segment thereof. In fact, this sequence shows significant homology only to another novel partial sequence obtained from sequence analysis of a porcine peptide, called cardiodilatin, also found in heart atria. This relationship is taken as evidence that ANF and cardiodilatin are part of the same precursor molecule which would contain at the very least 126 amino acids.
