Bioactivity | Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (83-132) Amide (human) TFA is a fragment of agouti-related protein (AGRP) which is a protein found in abundance in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus. AgRP primarily acts as an inverse agonist for the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) to increase food intake[1][2]. | ||||||
Target | Melanocortin-4 receptor | ||||||
In Vivo | Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (83-132) increases food intake and decreases spontaneous locomotor activity in rats[2]. | ||||||
