Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) is a
decapeptide that is secreted and originally isolated from the hypothalamus (Kakar et al., 1992).
As a
decapeptide hormone like GnRH, the first, second, third, 6th and 10th amino acid of Cetrorelix is different from the structure of GnRH.
The [Zn.sup.4+] metallopeptidase that removes the carboxy (C)-terminal dipeptide from
decapeptide angiotensin I to generate the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II and inactivate the vasodilator bradykinin (Arg-Pro-Pro-Gly-Phe-Ser-Pro-Phe-Arg) or encephalitis [2].
Evidence for a repeating 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine-and hydroxyproline-containing
decapeptide in the adhesive protein of the mussel, Mytilus edulis L.
It is a kind of synthetic
decapeptide compound, which can promote pituitary inhibition of follicle estrogen FSH, luteinizing hormone LH release, inhibit pituitary secretion of gonadotropin, leading to ovarian hormone.

ACE is a peptidyl dipeptidase A and primarily cleaves a
decapeptide (angiotensin-I) to an octapeptide (angiotensin-II) which is a potent vasoconstrictor.
ACE is a zinc-containing metallopeptidase that catalyzes the conversion of the angiotensin I-inactive
decapeptide to angiotensin II-potent vasopressor octapeptide.
This enzyme then cleaves the dodecapeptide angiotensinogen (produced by the liver) into
decapeptide angiotensin I.
Pharmachem offers a casein
decapeptide ingredient that studies have shown helps combat the depleting effects of stress (mental stress, situational stress), provides mood stability, and also promotes more restful sleep.
We recently reported further GNRH1 mutations located in the region encoding the
decapeptide which is the same region involved in earlier reported mutations (71).
