Levitide, a neurohormone-like peptide from the skin of Xenopus laevis. Peptide and peptide precursor cDNA sequences.
J. Biol. Chem. 263 , 3279, (1988) A novel peptide, levitide, less than Glu-Gly-Met-Ile-Gly-Thr-Leu-Thr-Ser-Lys-Arg-Ile-Lys-Gln-NH2 has been isolated from skin secretions of the South African frog Xenopus laevis and sequenced by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry. Synthetic oligonucleotid... |

The genes for the frog skin peptides GLa, xenopsin, levitide and caerulein contain a homologous export exon encoding a signal sequence and part of an amphiphilic peptide.
Eur. J. Biochem. 179(2) , 281-5, (1989) From genomic libraries of Xenopus laevis, parts of the genes coding for the precursors of the skin peptides GLa (peptide with amino-terminal glycine and carboxy-terminal leucinamide), xenopsin and levitide have been isolated and sequenced. The gene for prepro... |
