Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of human urotensin II in isolated vessels of various species; comparison with other vasoactive agents

TL;DR: The hU-II/GPR14 is not a functional contractile system in vessels of several species, in contrast with NA/α1, Ang II/AT1, 5HT/5HT2 and ET-1/ETA-ETB; the rat aorta appears however to be a sensitive and reliable preparation for evaluating biological activities of h U-II and related peptides.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological profile of NOP receptors coupled with calcium signaling via the chimeric protein Gαqi5

TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the FlexStation II–Gαqi5–NOP receptor calcium assay represents an adequate and useful screening for NOP receptor ligands, particularly for antagonists.
Journal ArticleDOI

Urantide mimics urotensin-II induced calcium release in cells expressing recombinant UT receptors

TL;DR: Urantide behaves as a competitive, potent, and pure antagonist in the rat aorta bioassay, while as an agonist in a calcium mobilization assay performed in CHO(hUT) cells and should be considered a low efficacy partial agonist.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pharmacological profile of hemokinin 1: a novel member of the tachykinin family.

TL;DR: Pharmacologically characterised the effects of hemokinin 1 using three tachykinin monoreceptor systems and indicates that HK-1 behaves as a NK(1) preferring receptor agonist.
