Notes: BigLEN is a neuropeptide and fragment of the pro-protein ProSAAS, involved in food intake, and an agonist of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor 171 (GPR171).{67456} It selectively increases intracellular calcium levels in CHO cells expressing GPR171 over those expressing GPR19, GPR108, or GPR165 at 1 µM. BigLEN (10 µM) increases neurite outgrowth in mouse Neuro2a neuroblastoma cells.
