Urotensin II-related peptide
Discontinued Product
Unfortunately Urotensin II-related peptide (Cat. No. 2215) has been withdrawn from sale for commercial reasons.
Biological Activity
Potent endogenous agonist for the urotensin-II (UT) receptor. Binds with high affinity and potently activates recombinant rat and human UT receptors (EC50 values are 0.55 and 4.8 nM respectively). Produces hypotensive effects following systemic administration in rats.
