Abstract
A polypeptide with pressor and oxytocic activities has been isolated from bovine pineal gland. This polypeptide is neither arginine—or lysine—vasopressin, nor oxytocin. The biological and chromatographic characteristics are similar to those of arginine vasotocin. It is concluded that the pineal polypeptide is arginine vasotocin or a hormone with similar structure.Keywords
