Editorial: A Comparative Survey of the RF-Amide Peptide Superfamily

The first member of the RF-amide peptide superfamily to be characterized, in 1977, was the cardioexcitatory peptide, FMRFamide, isolated from the ganglia of the clamMacrocallista nimbosa (1). Since then, a large number of such peptides, designated after their C-terminal arginine (R) and amidated phenylalanine (F) residues, have been identified in representative species of all major phyla. The d...

Editorial Is atrial natriuretic peptide really a hormone ?

Since the 1950s when granules were first observed histologically within the atrial wall there has been intense interest in their function. Two early key papers were those of Marie et al' and de Bold,2 who showed that the granulation was related to the water/electrolyte balance, although a first time reader's starting point should be the meticulous histological investigation of Jamieson and Pala...
