Metastin (45-54) is a 10 amino acid peptide that corresponds to the bioactive C-terminal 45-54 amino acids of metastin, a metastasis suppressor gene product.1 It acts as a potent agonist of GPR54 (OT7T175, AXOR12), with approximately 8-fold higher binding affinity than metastin (Ki values of 0.042 and 0.34 nM, respectively, for displacement of metastin (40-54)).1 Metastin (45-54) induces calcium mobilization in GPR54-transfected cells (EC50 = 0.18-1.1 nM).2 It inhibits the migration of GPR54-transfected CHO cells at concentrations of 10-100 nM, equaling the potency of full length metastin.3
