| Description | β-Bag Cell Peptide (Aplysia californica) also called β-Bag Cell Factor, β1-Caudodorsal cell peptide (Lymnaea stagnalis), is a neuroactive peptide. β-Bag cell peptide elevates cyclic AMP levels in the bag cell neurons. β-Bag cell peptide decreases the amplitudes of the voltage-dependent potassium currents. |
