    Product Description

    Kinetensin is a nonapeptide that has been found in pepsin-treated human plasma.1 It binds to neurotensin receptors in HT-29 cells and mouse brain (Kis = 1,396 and 149.6 nM, respectively, in radioligand binding assays) but does not induce the accumulation of intracellular calcium in HT-29 cells (EC50 = >10,000 nM).2 It induces histamine release in isolated rat peritoneal mast cells with an EC50 value of approximately 10 µM.3 Intradermal administration of kinetensin induces vascular permeability in rats.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
