Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique for the in vitro quantitative measurement in various sample types.
Target Information: Plays a role as a central modulator of cardiovascular and renal function and nociception. Plays also a role in energy metabolism and storage. Inhibits adrenocortical cell proliferation with minor stimulation on corticosteroid release (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. Spexin-1: Intracerebroventricular administration of the peptide induces an increase in arterial blood pressure, a decrease in both heart rate and renal excretion and delayed natriuresis. Intraventricular administration of the peptide induces antinociceptive activity. Also induces contraction of muscarinic- like stomach smooth muscles. Acts as a ligand for galanin receptors GALR2 and GALR3 (By similarity). Intraperitoneal administration of the peptide induces a reduction in food consumption and body weight. Inhibits long chain fatty acid uptake into adipocytes (PubMed:24550067). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269:PubMed:24550067}. Spexin-2: Intracerebroventricular administration of the peptide induces a decrease in heart rate, but no change in arterial pressure, and an increase in urine flow rate. Intraventricular administration of the peptide induces antinociceptive activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}
