General description

A decapeptide with C-terminally amidated LRF-motif that acts as a potent and selective agonist of AXOR12 and hOT7T175 (a novel human G-protein-coupled receptor). More potent than the parent peptide. Induces an increase in intracellular Ca2+ levels in CHO/h175 and CHO/AXOR12:Gqi5 cells and exhibits about 8-fold higher receptor binding affinity (Ki = 42 pM, determined by competitive binding analysis) as compared to Metastin (Cat. No. 444885).
