Abstract
A new polypeptide hormone candidate regulating vascular smooth muscle function was extracted from porcine atrial tissue. The purification steps were followed by a bioassay. The hormonally active substance has been analyzed and found to be a small polypeptide exhibiting a molecular weight of about 7500 and is named "cardiodilatin" (CDD). Further chemical data on this new hormone will be published elsewhere. A partial amino acid sequence of cardiodilatin is offered and shows that among the well known hormones or neuropeptides, none exhibit a homologue partial sequence.Entities:
