title: Neuromedin N: presence and chromatographic characterization in the rat.
abstract: The distribution of neuromedin N and its structurally related peptide, neurotensin, was investigated in the rat and found to be remarkably similar with highest concentrations in the ileum. However, neuromedin N but not neurotensin was found in the kidney. Chromatographic analysis of immunoreactive neuromedin N demonstrated a single peak of immunoreactivity which was distinguishable from the single peak of immunoreactive neurotensin. Neuromedin N is likely to be a naturally occurring peptide and is distinct from neurotensin in rat peripheral tissues.
