The invention belongs to the field of
marine organism small-molecular active peptides, and particularly relates to an anti-oxidation and DPP-IV inhibition active
peptide derived from
apostichopus japonicus by enzymolysis. The
amino acid sequence of the anti-oxidation and DPP-IV inhibition active
peptide is Ser-Arg-Pro-Gln-Tyr-Pro-Gln-Tyr-Pro-Ser. The anti-oxidation and DPP-IV inhibition active
peptide is prepared by the following steps: adding water into fresh
apostichopus japonicus for homogenizing, and placing the homogenate in an enzymolysis tank; performing enzymolysis with compound
protease to obtain enzymatic
hydrolysate; treating the enzymatic
hydrolysate with a membrane
separation technology to obtain a small-molecular active peptide crude product; separating the crude product through
Sephadex LH-20 to obtain a small-molecular active peptide. The purity of the small-molecular active peptide as measured by adopting RP-HPLC (Reversed-Phase
High Performance Liquid Chromatography)is greater than 95 percent, and the
amino acid composition of the active peptide is measured by
high performance liquid chromatography /
mass spectrometry, so that the
amino acid sequence of the small-molecular peptide is determined finally. The active small-molecular peptide derived from the
apostichopus japonicus has the advantages of small molecular weight, simple separating-purifying steps, easiness in preparation, high purity and higher oxidization resistance and DPP-IV inhibition activity, has the characteristics of naturalness, safety and high efficiency, can be applied to the preventionand treatment of relevant diseases such as
diabetes mellitus as an
antioxidant as well as a DPP-IV inhibitor, and has a wide application prospect in the fields of foods, health care products and medicines.
