Acts as a mitogenic factor for embryonic neurons in the sympathetic nervous system. Has powerful hypotensive and vasodilatory effects. Behaves either as a circulating hormone or as a neurotransmitter. Stimulates cAMP production in rat peritoneal macrophages. Inhibits the growth of human small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) both in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that it may be useful as a less toxic alternative to conventional chemotherapeutic agents in the treatment of SCLC. Nitric oxide stimulates the release of this peptide.Sequence:H-His-Ser-Asp-Ala-Val-Phe-Thr-Asp-Asn-Tyr-Thr-Arg-Leu-Arg-Lys-Gln-Met-Ala-Val-Lys-Lys-Tyr-Leu-Asn-Ser-Ile-Leu-Asn-NH2Formula:C147H238N44O42SSolubility:5% acetic acid (1mg/ml)Molecular Weight:3325.9Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C.
