This peptide has been isolated from skin secretions of Rana nigrovittata (Black-striped frog) (Hylarana nigrovittata) (Liu et al, 2008). The peptide, RAEAVPPGFTPFRKP, is related to Bradykinin. Possibly by interacting with Bradykinin receptor, it induces contraction of intestinal smooth muscle in isolated guinea pig ileum and may induce relaxation of arterial smooth muscle.
