Neuromedin (U8), porcine

Neuromedin (U8), porcine is a synthetic research peptide in the neuromedin-family neuropeptide family. Neuromedins comprise several structurally distinct bioactive peptide systems rather than a single receptor family. The exact identity and sequence of each neuromedin therefore determine its receptor context and biological interpretation. Defined synthetic neuromedin peptides are useful for receptor assays, comparative neuropeptide studies, and analytical method development.

• neuropeptide receptor assays
• neuromedin structure-function studies
• fragment and analog comparisons
• analytical peptide reference work

The exact sequence, species, residue range, terminal state, labels, stereochemistry, and post-translational modifications should be considered when comparing this reagent with the native peptide. Receptor potency and assay behavior should be validated in the intended experimental system.
