What is The Amino Acid Sequence of a Hypothalamic Peptide, Neurotensin. about?

The amino acid sequence of neurotensin, a hypotensive peptide isolated from acid-acetone extracts of bovine hypothalami, has been established as less than Glu-Leu-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Lys-Pro-Arg-Arg-Pro-Tyr-Ile-Leu-Oh. (The nomenclature and symbols follow the suggestions of the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 977). This was accomplished by sequence analyses performed on the intact peptide as well as its isolated tryptic, chymotryptic, and papain-generated fragments. The results of enzymic hydrolyses were consistent with the specificities of the enzymes used and indicated that all of the amino acids are unsubstituted and in the L configuration. The absence of non-amino acid constituents was further supported by analyses of electrophoretic mobility-molecular weight relationships of neurotensin and its fragments.
