Abstract
Uteri of pregnant and nonpregnant women contain enzymic activities which inactivate oxytocin. A potent enzyme, which has been partially purified from uterine homogenates, cleaves the prolyl-leucyl peptide bond of oxytocin. This findinig associates for the first time the release of the dipeptide leucylglycinamide with the degradation of neurohypophyseal hormones.Entities:
