Bioactivity | Serpinin is an agonist of the protease inhibitor Nexin-1 (PN-1). Serpinin upregulates the expression of PN-1 through the cAMP-PKA-Sp1 signaling pathway, promoting granule biogenesis in endocrine cells. Serpinin is used in research related to the regulation of secretory function[1]. Serpinin is a selective agonist for β-adrenergic receptors. Serpinin interacts with β1-adrenergic receptors to activate the AC-cAMP-PKA pathway, which regulates myocardial systolic and diastolic function. pGlu-serpinin upregulates Bcl2 mRNA transcription and exerts neuroprotective effects[2]. |
