Frog UII is a new peptide. In both frog and human, the UII sequence is located at the C-terminal position of the precursor. In the contractile action of urotensin II on isolated frog vascular smooth muscle but, unlike in mammals, urotensin II does not stimulate nitric oxide synthesis in this tissue.
