Peptides which should be generated from the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) precursor were identified in mouse and rat spinal cord, by using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography with radioimmunoassay and electrospray mass spectrometry detection. In both species, two octapeptides, NPFF (Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) and NPSF (Ser-Leu-Ala-Ala-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) were identified but a longer peptide NPA-NPFF (Asn-Pro-Ala-Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) was present at the highest concentration in rat spinal cord. In mouse, the homologous peptide, SPA-NPFF (Ser-Pro-Ala-Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) was not detected. Both peptides NPFF and NPSF reverse morphine-induced analgesia in the tail flick test. Our data reveal species differences in the maturation of NPFF precursor.

D009842 Oligopeptides Peptides composed of between two and twelve amino acids. Oligopeptide
D010455 Peptides Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are considered to be larger versions of peptides that can form into complex structures such as ENZYMES and RECEPTORS. Peptide,Polypeptide,Polypeptides
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
