插图：A core of gene clusters within the granular glandcells of frog skin codes for these secreted peptides.A mild transdermal electrical stimulation of the frogreleases granular gland contents on the skin surface asa result of glandular syncythia rupture produced bythe contraction of myoepithelial cells surrounding theglands. These skin secretions contain the entire pepti-dome, transcriptome, and genome of the granulargland syncythia （olocryne secretion）. The polyadeny-lated mRNAs constituting the secreted transcriptomeand the peptides constituting the secreted proteomeare protected from degradation by interactionswith co-released amphipathic peptides and muco-proteins endowed with antimicrobial, RNAse-, andprotease-inhibitory activities. Thus, amino acid se-quencing of secreted peptides, nucleic acid sequencingof peptide-encoding mRNAs, and genomic informa-tion retrieving from the secreted DNA can be easilyperformed in secretion samples collected from fewfrogs on a regular basis and stored, lyophilized orfrozen, for at least 6 years. This is a powerful methodof determining evolutionary information on theancestral sequences of biologically active peptidesand proteins and understanding the sequence-function relationship of the human orthologs. Becausedifficult-to-synthesize bioactive peptides and proteinsare currently obtained in large quantities from skinsecretions of few amphibian specimens, extensivepharmacological studies have been performed withthese amphibian molecules in order to elucidate thefunctional role of the mammalian orthologs. Whereassome of amphibian skin peptides represent analogs ofalready known mammalian peptide families （Table 1）,others represent prototype peptides not encounteredbefore in nature. In many instances, the discovery ofnew amphibian skin peptides led to the discovery ofnovel mammalian neuropeptides; notable examplesare caerulein, bombesin, and sauvagin （Table 2）. Inthe amphibian skin, opioid peptides are representedby two prototypes named dermorphin and deltorphin.
