Urotensin II: a somatostatin-like peptide in the caudal neurosecretory system of fishes.
Open accessAbstract
Urotensin II, a peptide hormone from the caudal neurosecretory system of the teleost, Gillichthys mirabilis, was isolated by using classical chromatographic techniques and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Direct microtechniques for sequence determination were used to establish its structure. Urotensin II from Gillichthys is a 1363-dalton dodecapeptide with the amino acid sequence Ala-Gly-Thr-Ala-Asp-Cys-Phe-Trp-Lys-Tyr-Cys-Val. This sequence is homologous with somatostatin in positions 1 and 2 and 7-9. The sequence has been verified by the production of a bioactive synthetic urotensin II. The possible chemical and physiological significance of its homology to somatostatin is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
