Notes: Saralasin is a peptide angiotensin II type 2 (AT2) receptor agonist.{54684} It binds to AT2 receptors (Ki = 0.38 nM) and induces neurite outgrowth in NG108-15 cells when used at a concentration at 100 nM, an effect that can be inhibited by the AT2 receptor antagonist PD 123310. Saralasin (5 µg/animal, i.c.v.) enhances acquisition of the conditioned avoidance response in rats.{54685}
