[Cys8,13]-Dynorphin A (1-13) amide

WKYMVM 2TFA is a N-formyl peptide receptor (FPR1) agonist.Neutrophils are activated by WKYMVM through FPRL1 and that FPRL2 is a chemotactic receptor transducing signals in myeloid cells.Using blood samples withdrawn from 28 AL patients and 31 healthy controls, found that, in the absence of exogenous WKYMVm, WKYMVm receptor and bactericidal activity did not differ between patients and controls.?

Gamma-MSH (Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone), a putative hormone in the N-terminal region of the ACTH/beta- endorphin (beta-EP) precursor protein, was studied by RIA with an antiserum against gamma 3-MSH in ACTH-producing mouse pituitary tumor cells, AtT-20/D16v.
