Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Novokinin is an angiotensin AT2 receptor agonist. Novokinin exhibits vasorelaxing and hypotensive activity via activation of the IP (prostacyclin) receptor, and suppresses food intake via activation of PGE2-EP4 interaction.

Product Data
Biological target:
Novokinin is a peptide agonist of the angiotensin AT2 receptor.
In vitro activity:
TBD
In vivo activity:
This study found that novokinin (Arg-Pro-Leu-Lys-Pro-Trp), a potent hypotensive peptide acting through the AT(2) receptor, has vasorelaxing activity in the mesenteric artery isolated from spontaneously hypertensive rats. These results suggest that the vasorelaxing activity of novokinin, which contributes to the hypotensive effect, is mainly mediated by prostaglandin I(2) (prostacyclin) and the IP receptor downstream of the AT(2) receptor.
