Abstract:
:Hydrin 2 (vasotocinyl-Gly), a hydroosmotic peptide resulting from differential processing of provasotocin and recently identified in frog neurohypophysis, has been looked for in the pituitary gland of an exotic toad (Bufo marinus) and of a reptile (Vipera aspis). Hydrin 2 has been found in the amphibian but not in the reptile. This result confirms the evolutionary specificity of hydrin 2 that has been identified only in frogs and toads but not in birds and reptiles. Occurrence of hydrin 2 is explained by its regulatory function on the water permeability of the skin of anurans.
