This Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAP kinase) fragment has a peptide sequence of Lys-Tyr-Ile-His-Ser-Ala-Asn-Val-Leu. The MAP kinases are serine/threonine-specific protein kinases belonging to the CMGC (CDK/MAPK/GSK3/CLK) kinase group.
Pasireotide(SOM 230) is a stable cyclohexapeptide somatostatin mimic that exhibits unique high-affinity binding to human somatostatin receptors (subtypes sst1/2/3/4/5, pKi=8.2/9.0/9.1/<7.0/9.9 respectively).
Endogenous melanocortin MC3 receptor agonist (pKi = 7.46) that displays ~ 40-fold selectivity over MC4. Increases the release of extracellular dopamine, which induces grooming and vertical activity (rearing) in rats. Exhibits hypertensive, tachycardic and
Selective and competitive nociceptin receptor antagonist, devoid of any agonist activity. Binds selectively to recombinant nociceptin receptors (pKi = 8.4), and competitively antagonizes the actions of nociceptin in vitro and in vivo.
Peptide antagonist of the B2 bradykinin receptor (pKi = 10.3); conformationally constrained cyclized analog of HOE 140. Blocks hypotension and bronchoconstriction in vivo. Displays selectivity for B2 over 29 other receptors and ion channels (pIC50 < 5.5).
High affinity apelin receptor agonist. Binds apelin receptors in left ventricle from normal and pulmonary arterial hypertensive (PAH) hearts (pKi values are 9.31 and 9.46, respectively). Bioactive fragment of ELA-32. Inhibits forskolin-induced cAMP produc
