also: melanotropin-release-inhibiting factor. This peptide of 36 amino acids (YPSKPDNPGEDAPAEDMAKYYSALRHYINLITRQRYamide) has been isolated from frog brain (Pelophylax ridibundus (Marsh frog) (Rana ridibunda)) by virtue of its ability to inhibit Alpha-MSH [Melanocyte-stimulating hormone-alpha] release (Chartrel et al, 1991). It is considered the amphibian counterpart of mammalian neuropeptide Y (NPY), from which it differs only by one amino acid substitution at position 19.
