An insulin-like substance (ILS) was isolated from the visceral organs of the bivalve mollusc Anodonta cygnea by chromatography on a sulfocationite CU-23 and purified by reverse phase liquid chromatography. ILS was shown to be made up to several fractions with Mr ranging from 9 to 20 kDa which have identical amino acid composition but different hydrophobicity and N-terminal amino acids. It was supposed that the heterogeneity of ILS fractions is due to its genetical or posttranslational polymorphism. ILS has a low (0.02%) affinity for the mammalian insulin receptor and a low immune affinity for mammalian insulin and possesses a mitogenic activity which is commensurate with that of the epidermal growth factor. The data obtained suggest that Anodonta cygnea ILS represents a separate branch of a relatively ancient family of insulin-like hormones and growth factors responsible for metabolism and proliferation of invertebrate tissues.
