1 Anthopleurin-B (AP-B), a newly isolated polypeptide from a sea anemone (Anthopleura xanthogrammica) caused relaxation of the guinea-pig isolated ileum following a transient contraction at concentrations greater than 3 x 10(-9) M. 2 AP-B caused a tonic contraction followed by rhythmic relaxation of
A neurotoxic peptide, granulitoxin (GRX), was isolated from the sea anemone Bunodosoma granulifera. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of GRX is AKTGILDSDGPTVAGNSLSGT and its molecular mass is 4958 Da by electrospray mass spectrometry. This sequence presents a partial degree of homology with other
1. The experiments were performed on sensorimotor cortex using current-clamp intracellular recordings in layer V pyramidal neurones and whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings in dissociated pyramidal neurones. The intracellularly recorded neurones were classified on the basis of their firing
