Science, 1984•science.orgExtraction and partial purification of peptide material from the intestine of the elasmobranch
Scyliorhinus canicula yielded a fraction that shows potent stimulatory activity in the rectal
gland. The extracted material appears to contain an endogenous peptide (or peptides) that
represents the natural hormone responsible for the control of rectal gland secretion in vivo.
