Kassinin

Kassinin is an amphibian tachykinin peptide containing the conserved C-terminal FXGLM-amide motif. It is used in comparative tachykinin receptor pharmacology and smooth-muscle response 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.
