This peptide (QGGLLGKVSNLANDALGILPI) has been dentified from the skin secretions of the tree frog, Polypedates pingbianensis (Meng et al, 2012). Polypedarelaxin 1 elicits concentration-dependent relaxation effects on isolated rat ileum. It is unrelated to other peptides and has no antimicrobial and serine protease inhibitory activities. Polypedarelaxin 1 does not contain conserved structural motifs of other amphibian myotropic peptides, such as bradykinins, bombesins, cholecystokinin, and tachykinins, indicating that the peptide belongs to a novel family of amphibian myotropic peptides.
