Product Description: Apelin-36(human) TFA is an endogenous orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ agonist, with an EC50 of 20 nM. Apelin-36(human) TFA shows high affinity to human APJ receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells (pIC550=8.61). Apelin-36(human) TFA has been linked to two major types of biological activities: cardiovascular and metabolic. Apelin-36(human) TFA inhibits the entry of some HIV-1 and HIV-2 into the NP2/CD4 cells expressing APJ[1][2][3][4].
Applications: Metabolism-protein/nucleotide metabolism
Formula: C186H298F3N69O45S
