A group of tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR)-containing proteins has been shown to interact with the C-terminal domain of the 70 kDa heat-shock cognate protein (hsc70). In the present study, the effect of the TPR-containing proteins, including the C-terminus
Dexloxiglumide, an active enantiomer of Loxiglumide, inhibits smooth muscle cell contractions induced by cholecystokinin-octapeptide (CCK-8). It is a selective antagonist of cholecystokinin type A (CCKA) receptors.
Larazotide is an octapeptide paracellular permeability inhibitor whose structure is derived from a protein (zonula occludens toxin) secreted by Vibrio cholerae for treatment of Coeliac disease.
Biphalin is a synthetic opioid octapeptide with a palindromic sequence that has high analgesic activity. Biphalin shows a potent affinity for μ and δ-opioid receptors and a significant to κ-receptor.
H 77 is a new effective renin inhibitor. H 77 is angiotensinogen (6-13)-octapeptide in which the peptide bond -CO-NH- at the Leu(9)-Leu(11) linkage is replaced by a -CH2-NH- bond.
