Potent galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) agonist (EC50 values are 45.7 and 112.2 nM, respectively). Exhibits no significant activity at galanin receptor 1. Endogenous satiety-inducing peptide; inhibits long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and decreas
Spexin TFA, a potent agonist for galanin receptor 2/3 (GAL2/GAL3) with EC50 values of 45.7 and 112.2 nM respectively, shows no significant activity towards galanin receptor 1. As an endogenous peptide promoting satiety, it reduces long chain fatty acid uptake by adipocytes and lowers food consumption in diet-induced obese mice and rats. Additionally, it moderates LH secretion in goldfish and demonstrates anxiolytic effects in vivo.
