CAS: 109024-47-7

Ref. 3D-FB110155

Product Information

• Name: β-Bag Cell Peptide (Aplysia californica) trifluoroacetate salt
• Synonyms: ?-Bag Cell Factor, ?1-Caudodorsal cell peptide (Lymnaea stagnalis)H-Arg-Leu-Arg-Phe-His-OH trifluoroacetate salt
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Aplysia californica is a species of sea slug that produces a peptide, beta-Bag Cell Peptide (BACP), which has been shown to have depolarizing effects on neurons. BACP can be synthesized from the amino acid sequence of the Aplysia californica cell membrane protein, and this synthetic peptide has been shown to have maximal depolarizing effects at high concentrations. The depolarizing effect of BACP can be seen in populations of neurons as well as individual neurons. This peptide also desensitizes autoreceptors for acetylcholine and serotonin, which may play a role in its electrophysiological effects.
