  • Signal peptide:  MAKHDVTVMTLLLVVCALHVFDAQG
  • Modification:  T9 Valine amide
  • Glycosylation:  NA
  • Mutagenesis:  NA

Activity

  • Function:  Enterins inhibited contractions of the gut. In the CNS, the cerebral and buccal ganglia, which control feeding, contained the enterins; Enterins reduced the firing of interneurons B4/5 during feeding motor programs which corresponded to a switch from eges
