Bioactivity | Urantide is a selective and competitive urotensin-II (UT) receptor antagonist peptide (pKB=8.3) that blocks human urotensin-II (hU-II)-induced contractions in rat thoracic aorta ex vivo. Urantide can be used to study the (patho)physiological role of hU-II in the mammalian cardiovascular system[1]. |
Target | urotensin-II Receptor (UT Receptor). |
