From a side fraction obtained in a previous isolation of neuromedin B from porcine spinal cord, another decapeptide was purified that exhibits a potent stimulant effect on the smooth muscle preparation of rat utrerus. By microsequencing and synthesis, the amino acid sequence of the peptide was identified as: Gly-Asn-His-Trp-Ala-Val-Gly-His-Leu-Met-NH2. This peptide was identical with the carboxyl-terminal subsequence of gastrin peptide, and displayed a potent contractile activity on rat uterus in the characteristic manner of bombesin. The peptide may be a neuromediator in the neural communication systems of mammals. The name neuromedin C is proposed for this peptide, since it is closely related to neuromedin B, recently identified as a bombesin-like mammalian peptide.
