Eledoisin

Eledoisin is a naturally occurring tachykinin from cephalopod salivary glands. Its conserved C-terminal GLM-amide motif produces potent smooth-muscle and vascular effects and supports tachykinin receptor structure-activity studies.

• neuropeptide receptor pharmacology
• GPCR signaling
• neuroendocrine and smooth-muscle studies
• structure-activity research

Terminal pyroglutamate, amidation and exact residue boundaries are part of the reagent identity and should be retained when comparing tachykinin or bombesin-family activity.
