Peptides which should be generated from the neuropeptide FF (NPFF) precursor were identified in mouse and rat spinal cord, by using reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography with radioimmunoassay and electrospray mass spectrometry detection. In both species, two octapeptides, NPFF (Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) and NPSF (Ser-Leu-Ala-Ala-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) were identified but a longer peptide NPA-NPFF (Asn-Pro-Ala-Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) was present at the highest concentration in rat spinal cord. In mouse, the homologous peptide, SPA-NPFF (Ser-Pro-Ala-Phe-Leu-Phe-Gln-Pro-Gln-Arg-Phe-amide) was not detected. Both peptides NPFF and NPSF reverse morphine-induced analgesia in the tail flick test. Our data reveal species differences in the maturation of NPFF precursor.
