Informação sobre produto

• Nome: Urotensin II (Rat)
• Sinónimos: Pyr-His-Gly-Thr-Ala-Pro-Glu-Cys-Phe-Trp-Lys-Tyr-Cys-Ile[Pyr110]-Prepro-Urotensin II (Rat, 110-123)
• Marca: Biosynth
• Descrição: A potent vasoconstrictor (Source rat, 110-123) containing disulfide bonds between Cys8-Cys13 and available as a 0.5mg vial. Urotensin II is a peptide involved in biological systems such as the nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular and renal and in rats it is primarily found in brainstem and spinal cord motor neurons. Like that of urotensin II-related peptide, urotensin II contains the hexapeptide -CYS-TYR-LYS-TRP-PHE-CYS- known as the core and this is crucial to its biological function.Urotensin II can also increase the concentration of intercellular calcium through binding to its G protein coupled receptor: urotensin-II receptor which causes the activation of Protein kinase C followed by the activation of Phospholipase C.UT-II has been shown to have a wide range of physiological effects in rats, including vasoconstriction, modulation of blood pressure, and stimulation of the release of aldosterone and vasopressin.In addition to its physiological effects, UT-II has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of various cardiovascular and metabolic disorders, including hypertension, heart failure, and diabetes. Inhibition of UT-II signaling has been suggested as a potential therapeutic target for these conditions.
