Abstract excerpt
It has been suggested that the amino acid sequence of pancreatic polypeptide (PP) may provide a useful molecular marker with which to study evolutionary relationships between tetrapods but few PP sequences from amphibia are available to test this hypothesis. PPs have been purified from the pancreata of five species belonging to the different orders of amphibians. Their amino acid sequences were established as:...
