Description
editThe length of the shell varies between 40 mm and 75 mm. The species is a non-broadcast spawner and its biological life cycle does not include the trocophore stage of life. The peptide called turripedtide ubi3a was isolated from Unedogemmula bisaya. The peptide when injected intracranially into mice caused prolonged tremors.
Distribution
editThis marine species lives in the western central pacific ocean and occurs off the Philippines in benthic or tropical zones.[3]
