“…The primary structures of insulins isolated from the three species of Ranid frog are compared with human insulin and with the structures of the other known amphibian insulins (the clawed toad Xenopus laevis (Shulinder et al 1989), the urodeles the three-toed amphiuma Amphiuma tridactylum (Conlon et al 1996) and the lesser siren Siren intermedia (Conlon et al 1997), and the caecilian Typhlonectes natans (Conlon et al 1995) (Fig. 4)).…”

“…For insulin tree construction, sequences for 10 terminal taxa were included [R. catesbeiana, R. sylvatica, R. ridibunda (Conlon et al, 1998c); B. marinus (Conlon et al, 1998a); X. laevis (Shuldiner et al, 1989); Ceratophrys ornata (White et al, 1999); A. tridactylum (Conlon et al, 1996); S. intermedia (Conlon et al, 1997); and T. natans (Conlon et al, 1995). The amino acid sequences used are shown in Fig.…”

“…[3]) but structural studies have focused largely on mammals, birds and teleost fish. The primary structures of amphibian insulins are known only for two closely related peptides isolated from the South African clawed toad Xenopus lae is [4] and, more recently, for one peptide from the caecilian, Typhlonectes natans [5]. The present paper describes the purification and receptor-binding properties of insulin from a salamander of the family Amphiumidae, the three-toed amphiuma Amphiuma tridactylum.…”
