WWamide-1 is a neuromodulatory peptide from the ganglia of Afrian giant snail, Achatina fulica. | [Uses]
WWamide-1 is a neuropeptide, which can be isolated form Achatina fulica. WWamide-1 inhibits central neurons of snails, regulates the snail muscle contraction. WWamide-1 inhibits the contraction of anterior byssus retractor muscle (ABRM), enhances the contraction of the radular traction muscle, through effects on presynaptic and postsynaptic membrane of the muscle[1]. | [References]
