Locustatachykinin I is a insect tachykinin-related peptide isolated from Locusta migratoria. Locustatachykinin I exhibits sequence homologies with the vertebrate tachykinins. In Lacanobia, Locustatachykinin I is also a substrate for a deamidase.

This gene encodes a loosely associated peripheral membrane protein related to the LanC family of bacterial membrane-associated proteins involved in the biosynthesis of antimicrobial peptides. This protein may play a role as a peptide-modifying enzyme component in eukaryotic cells. Previously considered a member of the G-protein-coupled receptor superfamily, this protein is now in the LanC family. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 28]

Secretin, porcine (Porcine secretin acetate) is a 27-amino acid peptide, acting on pancreatic acinar cells and ductal epithelial cells stimulating the production of bicarbonate rich fluid.

This gene encodes a member of the aldo/keto reductase superfamily, which consists of more than 4 known enzymes and proteins. This member, also known as aldehyde reductase, is involved in the reduction of biogenic and xenobiotic aldehydes and is present in virtually every tissue. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene exist, all encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 211]

Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (porcine) is an agonist of neuropeptide Y (NPY) receptor subtype Y2, and stimulates feeding in rats. Neuropeptide Y (3-36) (porcine) is a highly Y2 selective ligand compared with nselective Y1/Y2 receptor ligand, Neuropeptide Y 1-36.

The protein encoded by this gene inhibits transactivation of HIF1A-induced genes by competing with binding of hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha to p3-CH1. Mutations in this gene are a cause of cardiac septal defects. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 212]

Cecropin A (1-7)-Melittin A (2-9) is an antimicrobial peptide with antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, as well as antimalarial activity, without the adverse hemolytic properties of bee venom peptides.

BPNT1, also called bisphosphate 3-prime-nucleotidase, or BPntase, is a member of a magnesium-dependent phosphomonoesterase family. Lithium, a major drug used to treat manic depression, acts as an uncompetitive inhibitor of BPntase. The predicted human protein is 92% identical to mouse BPntase. BPntases physiologic role in nucleotide metabolism may be regulated by inositol signaling pathways. The inhibition of human BPntase may account for lithium-induced nephrotoxicity.
