Description

Amino Acid Sequence

Phe-His-Leu-Leu-Arg-Glu-Val-Leu-Glu-Nle-Ala-Arg-Ala-Glu-Gln-Leu-Ala-Gln-cyclo-(Glu-Ala-His-Lys)-Asn-Arg-Lys-Leu-Nle-Glu-Ile-Ile-NH2

Application

Astressin has been used as a CRF-receptor antagonist to study its effects on the decrease in the Schaffer collateral-CA1 field potential induced by hypoxia/hypoglycemia (ischemia) in rat hippocampal slices.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Astressin is a non-selective corticotropin releasing factor (CRF)-receptor antagonist. It potentially blocks CRF-induced adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) release. Astressin effectively deceases delayed effects of chronic social isolation such as anxiety and fobial states in rats.
