Spexin TFA, a potent agonist for galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) with EC50 values of 45.7 and 112.2 nM respectively, shows no significant activity towards galanin receptor 1. As an endogenous peptide promoting satiety, it reduces long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and lowers food consumption in diet-induced obese mice and rats. Additionally, it moderates LH secretion in goldfish and demonstrates anxiolytic effects in vivo.
Potent galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) agonist (EC50 values are 45.7 and 112.2 nM, respectively). Exhibits no significant activity at galanin receptor 1. Endogenous satiety-inducing peptide; inhibits long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and decreas
Potent and selective galanin receptor 2 (GAL2) agonist (EC50 = 38 nM, Ki values are 6.55, 497 and 587 nM at GAL2, GAL3 and GAL1 respectively). Has an additive effect on the signal transduction of galanin.
Non-selective galanin receptor agonist (Ki values are 0.98, 1.48 and 1.47 nM for GAL1, GAL2 and GAL3 respectively). Anticonvulsant; prevents the occurrence of full kindled seizures in rats.
