• Description: Achatina cardioexitatory peptide-1 (ACEP-1) is an undecapeptide identified from the African giant snail Achatina fulica. Structurally related peptides are known in a sea hare, Aplysia californica, and a freshwater snail, Lymnaea stagnalis. A G protein-coupled receptor for the ACEP-1 receptor has been identified in several animals.
• Biological functions: ACEP-1 and LyCEP have cardioexcitatory action on A. fulica and L. stagnalis, respectively.A major difference in the action of the two peptides is that ACEP-1 augments the beating amplitude of the ventricle but not the auricle of Achatina while LyCEP augments the beating frequency of the auricle of Lymnaea. ACEP-1 increases the phasic contractions of the penis retractor muscle and buccal muscle that were elicited by the electrical stimulation of the muscles.It also induces the spontaneous discharge of buccal B4 neurons. ACEP-1 in the B10 neuron, together with ACh, mediates an excitatory action on the radula protractor muscle.
