Bioactivity | NGFFFamide is a muscle-active neuropeptide found in sea urchins. NGFFFamide regulates muscle activity by directly interacting with receptor proteins on muscle cells, or indirectly by stimulating nerves or other cell types to release muscle-active factors. NGFFFamide can be used to study muscle contraction and relaxation[1]. |
