Bioactivity | Apelin-36(rat, mouse) is an endogenous orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ agonist. Apelin-36(rat, mouse) binds to APJ receptors with an IC50 of 5.4 nM, and potently inhibits cAMP production with an EC50 of 0.52 nM. Apelin-36(rat, mouse) blocks entry of some HIV-1 and HIV-2 strains into NP-2/CD4 cells expressing APJ[1][2]. | ||||||
