Disease relevance of Lom-MT

  • A peptide that stimulates the spontaneous contractions of the hindgut of Leucophaea maderae has been purified from extracts of brain-corpora cardiaca/corpora allata-subesophageal ganglion complexes of 9000 adult Locusta migratoria and was designated locustamyotropin or Lom-MT [1].
 

High impact information on Lom-MT

  • Furthermore, Acer did not hydrolyse the synthetic substrates Phe-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Gly-Arg-Arg and Phe-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Gly-Lys-Arg, two partially processed putative locustamyotropin precursors, under conditions where Ance produced 82% substrate hydrolysis [2].
  • In locust preparations, Lom-MT provoked an increase in frequency, amplitude and tonus of contractions of the oviduct, but was inactive in the same conditions on the locust hindgut preparation [1].
