Two biologically active peptides designated SCP-1 and SCP-2 have been isolated and partially characterized from porcine spinal cord. The results of amino acid analysis, electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and the chromatographic analysis of the dansylated derivatives indicate that these two peptides are homogeneous. The amino acid composition and apparent untriakontapeptide and SCP-2 is a pentacospeptide. The N-terminal amino acids of SCP-1 and SCP-2 are Arginine and Tryptophan respectively. SCP-1 can stimulate the contraction of isolated guinea pig ileum and SCP-2 induces hypotension in anesthetized rat. Both SCP-1 and SCP-2 show no morphine-like activity. The chemical composition and biological properties of SCP-1 and SCP-2 distinguish them from any known peptide.

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
