Journal ArticleDOI
Galanin — a novel biologically active peptide from porcine intestine
TL;DR: It was found that galanin consists of 29 amino acids and the complete amino acid sequence is: contract smooth muscle preparations from the rat and to cause a mild and sustained hyperglycemia in dog.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of a gastrin releasing peptide from porcine non-antral gastric tissue.
Thomas J. McDonald,Hans Jörnvall,G. Nilsson,Monique Vagne,M. A. Ghatei,Stephen R. Bloom,Viktor Mutt +6 more
TL;DR: A heptacosapeptide with potent gastrin releasing activity has been isolated from porcine non-antral gastric and intestinal tissue and striking homology in the C-terminal region is seen with bombesin, accounting for the similar bioactivities of the two peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI
The human antimicrobial and chemotactic peptides LL-37 and α-defensins are expressed by specific lymphocyte and monocyte populations
Birgitta Agerberth,Jehad Charo,Joachim Werr,Berit Olsson,Farah Idali,Lennart Lindbom,Rolf Kiessling,Hans Jörnvall,Hans Wigzell,Gudmundur H. Gudmundsson +9 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that microbicidal peptides are effector molecules of lymphocytes and that antibacterial activity previously shown to be derived from T and NK cells may be partly mediated by the antibacterial peptides LL-37 and HNP 1-3.
Journal ArticleDOI
Immunocytochemical detection and mapping of a cytokeratin 18 neo-epitope exposed during early apoptosis.
Mathie P.G. Leers,Wendy Kölgen,Viveka Björklund,Tomas Bergman,Gordon Tribbick,Bengt Persson,Peter Björklund,Frans C. S. Ramaekers,Bertil Björklund,Marius Nap,Hans Jörnvall,Bert Schutte +11 more
TL;DR: The definition of a specific caspase cleavage site in CK18 as a neo‐epitope can be used for quantification of apoptotic epithelial cells with immunocytochemical techniques and is applicable to both fresh and formalin‐fixed material.
Journal ArticleDOI
N-terminally extended somatostatin: the primary structure of somatostatin-28
TL;DR: The primary structure of this intestinal peptide has been found to be an octacosapeptide, somatostatin-28, which is a precursor of somatogtatin-14 and Sequence comparison between somatstatin- 28 and prohormones also suggest that it may be a precursor.
