Endogenous agonist at orexin receptors (Ki values are 20 and 38 nM for OX1 and OX2 receptors respectively). Stimulates feeding following central administration and may be involved in the control of sleep-wake cycle and other hypothalamic functions.
Difopein (TFA), a specific and competitive inhibitor of 14-3-3 protein (a highly conserved eukaryotic regulatory molecule), blocking the ability of 14-3-3 to bind to target proteins and inhibits 14-3-3/Ligand interactions. Difopein (TFA) leads to inductio
Chronic intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of a VGF peptide named TLQP-21 increased resting energy expenditure and temperature in mice. Furthermore, in mice fed a high-fat diet, the same peptide prevented the increase in body and white adipose tissue
Rabies Virus Glycoprotein (TFA), a 29-amino acid-derived cell-penetrating peptide from the Rabies Virus Glycoprotein, can cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and enter brain cells.
This is amino acids 86 to 93 fragment of the human papilloma virus (HPV) type 16 oncoprotein E7. This HPV16-encoded peptide has very high affinity of binding to the HLA-A*0201 molecule.This immunogenic fragment may be used in vaccines for the prevention a
Fibronectin is a high-molecular weight (~440kDa) extracellular matrix glycoprotein that binds to membrane-spanning receptor proteins called integrins.In addition to integrins, fibronectin also binds extracellular matrix components such as collagen, fibrin
Human urocortin (hUcn) II is a new member of the corticotropin-releasing-factor (CRF) family. It selectively binds to the CRF2 receptor. Human urocortin II exhibits mild motor-suppressive effects and delayed anxiolytic-like effects,suggesting a time-depen
Tyroserleutide TFA, isolated from the degradation products of porcine spleen, is a small molecular tripeptide which inhibits tumor growth both in vitro and in vivo.
Ziconotide is an atypical analgesic agent for the amelioration of severe and chronic pain. Derived from Conus magus, a cone snail, it is the synthetic form of an ω-conotoxin peptide.
