Abstract excerpt

Rat preprosomatostatin (rPPSS) is processed to two distinct end products in a tissue-specific manner. The analogous end products in anglerfish are derived from separate precursors, anglerfish preprosomatostatins-1 and -2 (a(1)PPSS and a(II)PPSS). This report reviews experiments demonstrating that...
