agouti-related protein (agrp) , human

Agouti-related Protein (AGRP) (83-132) Amide (human) is a segment derived from the agouti-related protein (AGRP), abundantly present in the hypothalamus' arcuate nucleus, and functions predominantly as an inverse agonist for the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R), thereby promoting food intake [1] [2].

Agouti-related peptide (AgRP) is a neuropeptide produced in the brain by the AgRP/NPY neuron. It is only synthesized in NPY containing cell bodies located in the ventromedial part of the arcuate nucleus in the hypothalamus. The appetite-stimulating effect

Agouti-Related Protein (25-51) (human) (AGRP (25-51) (human)) corresponds to the amino-terminal fragment comprising amino acids 25 to 51 of the agouti-related protein (AGRP).

Agouti-Related Protein (54-82) (human) (AGRP (54-82) (human)) is the amino-terminal fragment consisting of amino acids 54 to 82 of the Agouti-Related Protein (AGRP).
