title: Isolation and structure of an epidermal mitosis inhibiting pentapeptide.
abstract: A mitosis inhibiting peptide pyroGlu-Glu-Asp-Ser-GlyOH has been isolated from mouse skin extracts. Both the biological and a synthetic peptide with the same structure reversibly inhibit epidermal mitoses in a curvilinear fashion after intraperitoneal injection. The two compounds are chromatographically identical.
