Endogenous potent and highly selective bradykinin B1 receptor agonist (Ki values are 0.12 and > 30000 nM at human B1 and B2 receptors respectively). Hypotensive agent that reduces peripheral vascular resistance in vivo. 16-fold more potent than [Des-Arg9]
Broad spectrum neuropeptide inverse agonist and antagonist. Potent full inverse agonist for the ghrelin receptor (EC50 = 5.2 nM); diminishes constitutive ghrelin receptor signaling. Also antagonist at tachykinin, bradykinin, CCK and bombesin receptors. In
Potent and selective bradykinin B1 receptor agonist (EC50 = 9.02 nM in rabbit aorta) that is resistant to aminopeptidase, kininase I and II (ACE) and neutral endopeptidase cleavage. Exhibits hypotensive and angiogenic activity in vivo.
Selective bradykinin B2 receptor agonist that is resistant to carboxypeptidase cleavage. 5-fold more potent and exhibits a more prolonged duration of action than bradykinin in vivo.
Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser is an integrin-binding sequence that inhibits integrin receptor function. It decreases systemic inflammation via inhibition of collagen-triggered activation of leukocytes and attenuates expression of inflammatory cytokines, MMP-9, and iNOS
