[Arg8]-Conopressin G

[Arg8]-Conopressin G is a synthetic research peptide in the conopressin / vasopressin-oxytocin-family peptide family. Conopressins are cyclic disulfide-bridged nonapeptides from cone-snail venoms and belong to the vasopressin/oxytocin peptide family. Conopressin-S and conopressin-G differ at key positions and are useful for comparative receptor, conformational, and neuropeptide structure-function studies.

• vasopressin/oxytocin-family receptor assays
• cyclic peptide conformation studies
• conopressin analog comparisons
• invertebrate neuropeptide research

The exact sequence, residue range, stereochemistry, cyclization, terminal state, species, and chemical modifications can materially affect activity. The supplied construct should be matched to the intended assay and the specific literature context.
