Biological activities of synthetic peptides corresponding to fragments of and to the entire sequence of the vasoactive intestinal peptide
Abstract
An octacosapeptide with the entire sequence proposed for the newly isolated vasoactive intestinal polypeptide was synthesized and had the expected biological properties. Synthetic peptides corresponding to the C-terminal hendeca-, tetradeca-, pentadeca-, and docosapeptide sequences of the vasoactive intestinal polypeptide showed activities that increased with increasing chain length.
