The present invention is directed to contulakin-G (which is the native glycosylated peptide), a des-glycosylated contulakin-G (termed Thr.sub.10 -contulakin-G), and derivatives thereof, to a cDNA clone encoding a precursor of this mature peptide and to a precursor peptide. The invention is further directed to the use of this peptide as a therapeutic for cytoprotection (including neuroprotection and cardioprotection), anti-seizure, anti-inflammatory, anti-shock, anti-thrombus, hypotensive, analgesia, anti-psychotic, Parkinson's disease, gastrointestinal disorders, depressive states, cognitive dysfunction, anxiety, tardive dyskinesia, drug dependency, panic attack, mania, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, ulcer, GI tumors, Tourette's syndrome, Huntington's chorea, vascular leakage, anti-arteriosclerosis, vascular and vasodilation disorders, as well as neurological, neuropharmalogical and neuropsychopharmacological disorders.

Die anwesende Erfindung wird auf contulakin-G (das das gebürtige glykosylierte Peptid ist), ein DES-GLYKOSYLIERTES contulakin-G verwiesen (benannt Thr.sub.10 - contulakin-G) und Ableitungen davon, zu einem DNA Klon, der einen Vorläufer dieses fälligen Peptids kodiert und zu einem Vorläuferpeptid. Die Erfindung wird weiter auf den Gebrauch dieses Peptids als therapeutisches für cytoprotection (einschließlich neuroprotection und cardioprotection), Anti-Ergreifung, anti-inflammatory, anti-shock, Anti-Anti-thrombus, hypotonisches, analgesia, Antipsychotikum, Krankheit Parkinson, gastro-intestinale Störungen, deprimierende Zustände, kognitive Funktionsstörung, Angst, tardive Dyskinesia, Drogeabhängigkeit, Panikangriff, Manie, reizbares Darmsyndrom, Diarrhöe, Geschwür, GI-Tumoren, Syndrom Tourettes, Chorea Huntingtons, Gefäßdurchsickern-, Anti-Arteriosklerose-, Gefäss- und Vasodilationstörungen, sowie die neurologischen, neuropharmalogical und neuropsychopharmacological Störungen verwiesen.
