Bioactivity | Pro8-Oxytocin is a a modified oxytocin (OXT) ligand. Pro8-Oxytocin produces more potent and efficacious responses at primate OXTR and stronger behavioral effects than the consensus mammalian OXT ligand (Leu8-Oxytocin). Pro8-Oxytocin produce a less efficacious response than Vasopressin (HY-B1811) (AVP) at human AVPR1a and higher efficacious response than AVP at marmoset AVPR1a[1]. |
Invitro | Pro8-Oxytocin (1 nM-10 μM) 能够激活 CHO 细胞AVPR1a 的 Ca2+ 动员[1]。 |
In Vivo | Pro8-Oxytocin 以更高的亲和力结合灵长类动物 OXTR(在表达 Pro8-OXT 和 Leu8-OXT 的灵长类动物中)并产生比 Leu8-OXT 更强的钙信号传导反应[1]。 |
