Pmp-(Me)Tyr-Ile-Thr-Asn-Cys-Pro-Orn-Tyr(3125I)-NH2
Chemical Modification
N-terminal cysteine residue residue of the natural sequence of vasotocin is replaced by Pmp (p-methoxyphenol group) and the resulting N-terminal tyrosine is methylated; glutamine residue 4 is replaced by threonine; C-terminal glycine residue is replaced by radiolabelled tyrosine amide. The name OVT indicates that arginine residue 8 in the natural sequence of vasotocin is replaced by ornithine
