WHAT DOES ELEDOISIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Eledoisin

Eledoisin is an undecapeptide of mollusk origin, belonging to the tachykinin family of neuropeptides. It was first isolated from the posterior salivary glands of two mollusk species Eledone muschata and Eledone aldovandi, which belong to the octopod order of Cephalopoda. Other tachykinins from nonmammalian sources include kassinin and physalaemin. The mammalian tachykinins substance P, NKA, and NKB have similar effects as tachykinins of nonmammals and have been more widely studied and characterized. These peptides exhibit a wide and complex spectrum of pharmacological and physiological activities such as vasodilation, hypertension, and stimulation of extravascular smooth muscle. Eledoisin has the amino acid sequence pGlu-Pro-Ser-Lys-Asp-Ala-Phe-Ile-Gly-Leu-Met-NH. Like all tachykinin peptides, Eledoisin shares the same consensus C-terminal sequence, that is, Phe-Xxx-Gly-Leu-Met-NH. The invariant "Phe7" residue is probably required for receptor binding. "Xxx" is either an aromatic or a branched aliphatic side chain and is thought to be important in receptor selectivity.

Definition of eledoisin in the English dictionary

The definition of eledoisin in the dictionary is a protein, C54H85N13O15S, found in the salivary glands of several small octopuses of the genus Eledone. It can be used as a vasodilator and also has other medical uses.
