Summary Methanol extracts of the skin of the Australian amphibianCrinia georgiana contain large amounts of crinia-angiotensin II, a new angiotensin II-like peptide. This differs sharply from the conventional octapeptide angiotensins II in having attached the tripeptide Ala-Pro-Gly- to the N-terminus, and having an Ile residue substituted for the Val residue at position 6 from the C-terminus. Small amounts of angiotensin-like peptides have been traced, by radioimmunoassay, in skin extracts of some otherCrinia species.
