Neurotensin (8-13)

Neurotensin(8-13) is the C-terminal hexapeptide that contains the principal receptor-activating determinants of neurotensin. It is widely used as a compact agonist for neurotensin receptor binding and functional studies.

• neurotensin receptor activation
• dopamine-release studies
• GPCR pharmacology
• structure-activity analysis

This is the free-acid hexapeptide RRPYIL. It should not be merged with full-length pyroglutamyl neurotensin or altered analogs such as [Lys8,9]-neurotensin.
