Product Information
- Cyclo(-Pro-Pro-)
Cyclo(L-Pro-L-Pro) is a cyclic peptide that was first synthesized in 1968 by the chemists, K. Brown and H. M. Schuster. Cyclo(L-Pro-L-Pro) has been shown to produce p-hydroxybenzoic acid, an intermediate in the metabolism of dopamine, when incubated with human serum or human erythrocytes. In addition, it has been shown to increase locomotor activity and enzyme activities in rats, as well as cytosolic calcium levels in cells. This compound may be a useful experimental model for studying Parkinson's disease because of its ability to inhibit dopamine uptake and increase the production of dopamine from its precursor L-DOPA. It also binds to neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1R), which is involved in inflammatory responses and pain sensation.
