Abstract
An oxytocin-vasopressin-related peptide, Cys-Phe-Val-Arg-Asn-Cys-Pro-Thr-Gly-NH2, was isolated from the lumbricid earthworm, Eisenia foetida and termed annectocin. Annetocin potentiated not only spontaneous contractions of the gut but also pulsatory contractions and bladder-shaking movement of the nephridia. Annetocin may be involved in osmoregulation of the animal through nephridial function.Entities:
