title: Human neuropeptide Y, somatostatin and vasopressin precursors identified in cell-free translations of hypothalamic mRNA.
abstract: Messenger mRNA has been prepared from post mortem human hypothalami and translated in a cell-free system. Using specific antibodies, biosynthetic precursors have been identified to neuropeptide Y (12 kDa), somatostatin (15 kDa) and vasopressin/neurophysin (19 kDa).
