Angiotensin (Human, 1-7)

Angiotensin (Human, 1-7) – Neuroscience Peptides Angiotensin 1-7 (Ang-(1-7)) is a component of the renin angiotensin system RAS. Ang-(1-7) is produced by angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), from the angiotensin II (Ang-II) peptide, as well as by...

Angiotensin II Antipeptide

Angiotensin II Antipeptide – Neuroscience Peptides An angiotensin II (Ang-II) receptor antagonist, the sequence of the angiotensin II anti-peptide has been derived from the anti-sense mRNA complementary to the human Ang-II mRNA. The anti-peptide shares 50%...

Angiotensin IV (3-8)

Angiotensin IV (3-8) – Neuroscience Peptides Angiotensin-IV is primarily produced from angiotensin-III by the removal of an arginine residue from the N-terminal by membrane alanyl aminopeptidase N (AP-N). Ang-IV can however also be formed by the action of...

Galanin (2-13)

Galanin (2-13) – Neuroscience Peptides Galanin is a widely distributed neuropeptide in the central nervous system, peripheral regions and endocrine system. Galanin has a role in energy homeostasis. Central injections of galanin to the amygdala led to food intake...

Galanin (3-13)

Galanin (3-13) – Neuroscience Peptides Galanin is a neuropeptide synthesised and released by the brainstem locus coeruleus (LC). Galanin is expressed in most LC neurons in rodents and humans. Galanin has been shown to inhibit LC activity by hyperpolarising LC...
