| Bioactivity | Prolactin Releasing Peptide (12-31), human is a fragment of the prolactin releasing peptide (PrRP). Prolactin Releasing Peptide (1-31), human is a high affinity GPR10 ligand that cause the release of the prolactin. | ||||||
| Invitro | The Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP) is a C-terminally amidated, 31-amino acid peptide derived from a 98-amino acid precursor. Radioiodinated PrRP-(1-31) binds to its receptor with high affinity (1 nM) and stimulates calcium mobilization in CHOK1 cells stably transfected with the receptor. A series of N-terminal deletions reveals that the Prolactin Releasing Peptide (12-31) amino acid is equipotent to PrRP-(1-31). Further N-terminal deletions reduce the affinity of the ligand considerably[1]. Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP) has been identified as a specific, high affinity endogenous ligand for GPR10. Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP) preproprotein can be cleaved at two different positions to give rise to two forms of 31 or 20 amino acids; Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP)-31 and Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP)-20 respectively. Rat Prolactin Releasing Peptide (PrRP) has also been identified and occurs as 31 or 20 amino acid forms; these peptides are highly conserved between species. Human PrRP‐20, human PrRP‐31, rat PrRP‐20 and rat PrRP‐31 display high affinity for GPR10 receptors, with Ki values of 0.26±0.07, 1.03±0.41, 0.22±0.06 and 0.33±0.11 nM, respectively[2]. | ||||||
