Comment: This small peptide is a component of the venom produced by male duck-billed platypus (Ornithorhynchus anatinus [3]). It corresponds to a seven amino acid N-terminal linear fragment of Ornithorhynchus venom C-type natriuretic peptide (P84715) [1-2]. Ornithorhynchus venom causes immediate acute pain in humans that transforms to sustained hyperalgesia.
