Biological Activity:
Endogenous APJ receptor ligand (EC50
= 20 nM) that is secreted by adipocytes. Binds with high affinity to human APJ
receptors expressed in HEK-293 cells (pIC50= 8.61). Involved in
regulation of cardiovascular function, fluid homeostasis and feeding. Blocks
entry of some HIV-1 and HIV-2 strains into NP-2/CD4 cells expressing APJ.
