[Lys8, Lys9]-Neurotensin (8-13) (JMV438) is a Neurotensin analog that elicits analgesic effects by activating the G protein-coupled receptors NTS1 and NTS2. The compound has K i values of 0.33 nM and 0.95 nM for hNTS1 and hNTS2 receptors, respectively.
[D-Trp11]-Neurotensin is a compound that functions as a selective antagonist of Neurotensin (NT) in perfused rat hearts, while exhibiting full agonist properties in guinea pig atria and rat stomach strips. Additionally, this compound can inhibit hypotension induced by NT.
Neurotensin-related hexapeptide exists in retinal ganglion cells and in their central projections in pigeons and may be utilized as a neuroactive substance by the central terminals of numerous retinal ganglion cells in birds.
Neuromedin N is a neuropeptide derived from the same precursor polypeptide as neurotensin, and with similar but subtly distinct expression and effects.
Xenopsin TFA is a neurotensin-like octapeptide derived from the skin of xenopus xenopus.Xenopsin TFA is an inhibitor of tetrachloroside to stimulate gastric acid secretion.
